Answer:

$\theta=41.18^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of the tree, h = 14 ft

The height of the shadow, b = 16 ft

We need to find the angle of elevation of the sun from the ground. Let the angle be θ. We can use trigonometry to find it. So,

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{14}{16}\\\\\theta=41.18^{\circ}$

So, the required angle of elevation of the sun is equal to $41.18^{\circ}$ .

gYou have a six-sided die that you roll once and ob- serve the number of dots facing upwards. What is the sample space

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Hey!

The sample space would be sides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, or 1-6.

A sample space is a range of possible values.

Hope this helps! :D

Both the La Plata river dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) and

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1. A sperm whale is 3 orders of magnitude heavier than a La Plata river dolphin; 2. The radius of the larger ball is one (1) order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the smaller ball; 3. The volume of the larger ball is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the volume of the smaller ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we expressed a number as:

$\\ N = a * 10^{b}$ (1)

Where

$\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \leq a < \sqrt{10}$ (2)

$\\ 1 \leq a < 10$ (3)

Then, b represents the order of magnitude of such a number (Order of magnitude (2020), in Wikipedia).

The order of magnitude can be defined as "...the smallest power of ten needed to represent a quantity" (Weisstein, Eric W. "Order of Magnitude". From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource).

Having gathered all this information, we can proceed as follows:

<h3>First case</h3>

The La Plata river dolphin weighs between 30 and 50kg and the sperm whale weighs between 35,000 and 40,000kg.

Then, considering (1) and (3) to express the dolphin and whale's weight (since in this way the order of magnitude is the same as the exponent part in the scientific notation):

$\\ 30kg \leq Dolphin_{weight} \leq 50kg$

$\\ 3*10^{1}kg \leq Dolphin_{weight} \leq 5*10^{1}kg$

$\\ 35000kg \leq Whale_{weight} \leq 40000kg$

$\\ 3.5*10^{4}kg \leq Whale_{weight} \leq 4.0*10^{4}kg$

Since the range for the weights are in the same order of magnitude for both dolphin and whale (considering the definition above):

$\\ Dolphin_{weight} = 10^{1}\;(order\;of\;magnitude=1)$

$\\ Whale_{weight} = 10^{4}\;(order\;of\;magnitude=4)$

Then

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight} = 10^{4}}{Dolphin_{weight} = 10^{1}}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = \frac{10^{4}}{10^{1}}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = 10^{4-1}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = 10^{3}$

Thus

A sperm whale is 3 orders of magnitude heavier than a La Plata river dolphin.

<h3>Second case</h3>

Following the same reasoning, we can conclude that the radius of the larger ball is one (1) order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the smaller ball:

$\\ \frac{Larger\;ball_{radius}}{Smaller\;ball_{radius}} = \frac{10^{1}}{10^{0}}$

$\\ \frac{Larger\;ball_{radius}}{Smaller\;ball_{radius}} = 10^{1-0} = 10^{1}$

<h3>Third case</h3>

For this case, we need to calculate the volume of a sphere for both radii (1cm and 10cm).

The volume of a sphere is

$\\ V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*R^{3}$

Then, the volume of the ball of radius 1cm is:

$\\ V_{radius=1} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*(1cm)^{3}$

$\\ V_{radius=1} \approx 4.19*10^{0}cm^{3}$

And, the volume of the ball of radius 10cm is:

$\\ V_{radius=10} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*(10cm)^{3}$

$\\ V_{radius=10} \approx 4.19*10^{3}cm^{3}$

Thus

$\\ \frac{10^{3}}{10^{0}} = 10^{3}$

As a result, the volume of the larger ball is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the volume of the smaller ball.

A clipboard cost $2.23.It cost $0.58 more than a notebook.Lisa bought two clipboards and one notebook.She paid with a ten dollar

Katen [24]

First you'd subtract .58 from 2.23 to get the price of the notebook.

2.23 - .58 = 1.65

(2.23×2)+1.65= 6.11

Now subtract 6.11 from ten to figure out the change amount.

10 - 6.11 = 3.89

Benjamín made 3 times more than Alberto and Carlota 2 times more than Benjamín, so how much is it, help me

vichka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

you are "hiding" some more information (like how much they made together).

without that we cannot calculate the actual values.

all I can do is set up the equations expressing the given relations between the parts of the total :

a = amount Alberto made

b = amount Benjamin made

c = amount Carlota made

b = 3×a

c = 2×b = 2× 3×a = 6×a

that's it.

your see ? now we need something that "ties" all 3 together, an equation of all 3 variables, where we can use the first 2 equations (by substitution) and then solve for the remaining third variable.

and that is missing.

if it is something like "together they made x", then we would have

a + b + c = x

a + 3a + 6a = x

10a = x

a = x/10

b and c we get then from the first 2 equations by simply using the calculated value of a :

b = 3×(x/10) = 3x/10

c = 6×(x/10) = 6x/10 = 3x/5
