Answer:

22.77°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using SOH CAH TOA trigonometry identity

Height of the building (opposite side) = 172ft

Length of the shadow (hypotenuse) = 444ft

Using SOH

sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin theta = 172/444

Sin theta = 0.387

theta = arcsin0.387

theta = 22.77°

Hence the angle of depression is 22.77°

Allushta [10]
To answer this question, you should draw a picture of a large rectangle with labels 15 ft by 20 ft.

Inside the large rectangle, draw another rectangle (the carpet) with dimensions 9 ft by 12 ft.

When you do this, you will see that you will have 3 feet of space on both sides of the longer wall (15 - 9 = 6; 6/2 = 3 feet).

On the shorter wall, you will have 4 feet of space (20 - 12 = 8; 8/2 = 4 feet).

You will have room for your couch on the shorter wall without touching the carpet.

How do I get the answer 1/2•-3 4/7
earnstyle [38]
First off, we need to convert the mixed fraction to "improper", and then just multiply linearly, let's do so,

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{4}{7}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 7+4}{7}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{7}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{25}{7}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 25}{2\cdot 7}\implies \cfrac{25}{14}\implies 1\frac{11}{14}
