Step-by-step explanation:
it's easy to prove in any right triangle with a 30° angle, the side opposite to that angle is half the hypotenuse. CA (1/2)BC, CA/BC=1/2
Answer: 57 boys
Step-by-step explanation: Lets break it down right
14th from the top with 10 girls in front which means 3 boys are in front and since there are twice as many girls as boys there are 60 girls and 30 boys so 3 boys are ahead which leaves 57 boys below him
This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.
