A 20 ft flag pole casts a shadow 32 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Right Triangles</u>

The flagpole and the ground form a right angle (90°). In triangles with right angles, the trigonometric ratios are satisfied.

Each acute angle has an adjacent leg and an opposite leg. The tangent ratio relates to both legs.

\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}

The opposite leg to angle x is 20 ft and the adjacent leg is 32 ft, thus:

\displaystyle \tan x=\frac{20}{32}=0.625

Calculate x by using the inverse tangent:

x=\arctan 0.625

x=32^\circ

The angle of elevation of the sun is 32°

Assume the monthly interest rate is 1/12 of the annual interest rate . you maintain an average balance of $450 on your credit ca
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The monthly interest payment would be $ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The average balance of the credit card = $ 450,

Annual rate of interest = 24%,

∵ Monthly interest rate is 1/12 of the annual interest rate,

Thus, the monthly interest rate = \frac{1}{12}\text{ of }24\%

=2\%

Hence, the monthly interest payment = 2% of credit card balance

= 2% of 450

=\frac{2\times 450}{100}

=\frac{90}{10}

= $ 9

Please HELP me!! Will choose brainliest (:
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to go at this.

My first choice is to use a graphing calculator. It shows the function has a zero at x=5, so x-5 is a factor.

Another good choice is to use synthetic division (2nd attachment). If the remainder is zero, then x-5 is a factor. It is and it is.

__

You can also evaluate the function at x=5. The remainder theorem tells you that if the value is zero, then x-5 is a factor. Evaluating the polynomial written in Horner form is a lot like synthetic division.

  (((x -4)x -15)x +58)x -40 for x=5 is ... (-10·5 +58)5 -40 = 40-40 = 0

The value of h(5) is zero, so x-5 is a factor of h(x).

A solution of the equation x^2/4=9 is
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

x = ±6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2/4=9

Multiply by 4 on each side

x^2/4 *4=9*4

x^2 = 36

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(36)

x = ±6
