With the information provided in the problem, we can create a right triangle with the ramp as its hypotenuse, and the vertical rise as its opposite side from its angle of elevation.
Let
be the angle of elevation from the car to the end of the ramp. We now know that the hypotenuse of our triangle measures 445 feet, and the opposite side measures 80 feet, so we need a trig function that relates our angle of elevation with the hypotenuse and the opposite side. That function is sine:
We can conclude that the angle of elevation from the car to the end of the ramp is 10.36°.
Let
We can conclude that the angle of elevation from the car to the end of the ramp is 10.36°.
Answer:
Correct option is D. No, since the ratios of the corresponding sides are not proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached figure
Let height of coach represents by AB = 6 feet
And shadow of coach represents by BC = 4 feet
Let height of goal post represents by DE = x feet
And Shadow of goal post represents by EF = 12 feet.
Since measurement of shadows are at same time. therefore ratio of height of coach and height of goal post must be same as ratio of shadow of coach and shadow of goal post.
⇒ 6/x = 4/12
⇒x = 72/4 = 18 feet
So goal post is not at regular height , since expected height is 20 feet while actual height is 18 feet . And if we consider value of x as 20 feet instead of 18 feet , ratio of corresponding sides will not match.
Hence correct answer is D. No, since the ratios of the corresponding sides are not proportional.
