Answer:

y : x: = 5 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x to y = 4 to 5

Rewrite;

x:y = 4:5

Remember, a ratio is another way of representing a fraction, hence one can do the same operations that one could do with a fraction. Therefore, one can take the cross products of a ratio;

x : y= 4 : 5

5x = 4y

Inverse operations;

5x = 4y

x = \frac{4}{5}y

Now substitute this into the equation y:x

y : \frac{4}{5}y

Rewrite as a fraction;

\frac{y}{\frac{5}{4}y}

Simplify;

\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}\\\\\frac{5}{4}

Rewrite as a ratio;

y : x = 5 : 4

laiz [17]

Answer:

\theta=0.99^{\circ}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The height of a cell tower, P = 70 m

The tower casts a shadow of 45 meters on the ground.

We need to find the angle of elevation of the shadow to the top of the cell tower. We can use trigonometry to find it.

\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}

Put all the values,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{70}{45}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{70}{45}\right)\\\\\theta=0.99^{\circ}

Hence, the angle of elevation is equal to 0.99^{\circ}.
