Answer:

sin-¹(10/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building is 100 ft and the ladder is 110ft long .We can imagine this situation as a right angled ∆. For figure refer to the attachment .

  • We can use ratio sine here. Let the angle of elevation be theta.

<u>In </u><u>∆</u><u> </u><u>ABC </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

=> sinθ = p/h

=> sinθ = 100ft / 110 ft

=> sinθ = 10/11

=> θ = sin -¹ ( 10/11) .

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>angle</u><u> of</u><u> elevation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>sin </u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u></h3>

Which statements are true regarding the area of circles and sectors? Check all that apply.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The correct options are a,b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of sector of a circle equals

Area of a sector = \theta r^{2}

where

\theta is the angle subtended at the center by the sector

r is the radius of circle

This indicates that area of the sector depends on:

1) Radius of circle

2) Angle  subtended at the center by the sector

3) Area of sector does not depend on pi.

Also if we know the area of the sector only  we cannot calculate area of area of whole triangle as we need one more information either angle of the sector and vice versa.
