Answer:

The angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

height of the tree, h = 96 ft

length of the shadow, L = 120 ft

                                                   |

                                                   | 96ft

                                                   |

                                                   |

       θ------------------------------------

                    120ft

Completing this triangle to cut across the top of the tree gives you a right angled triangle with θ as the angle of elevation of the sun.

Apply trig-ratio to determine the angle of elevation of the sun;

tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side

tanθ = 96 / 120

tanθ = 0.8

θ = tan⁻¹(0.8)

θ = 38.7⁰

θ = 39⁰

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the sun is 39⁰

Rectangle poster is 3 times as long as wide perimeter is 24 in
Alexxandr [17]

w= width

l = 3w

P = 2(l+w)

substitute

24 = 2(3w+w)

24 = 2(4w)

24 =8w

3 =w

The width is 3 inches

the length is 9 inches

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The answer is the "Null hypothesis and Alternative hypothesis".

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is almost like a hypothesis test, which indicates the certain demographic characteristics which aren't varied.

The alternative presumption will be that the hypothesis besides making predictions is opposite to the void assumption. Its posts are generally taken as a result of a meaningful effect.

Difference:

The null hypothesis is indeed a gross generalization, which specifies there is no relation between different phenomenons under evaluation. There is no association between the two groups. An alternate solution hypothesis is a statement, that defines there is a relation between different chosen variables in this study.

Does ANYONE know?????
daser333 [38]

Answer:

150 votes were casted

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we know that Amy received 48 votes. Then Neil received 1/4 as many votes as Amy. So we can divide 48 by 4:

48/4=12

Neil got 12 votes. We also know that Neil and Amy's votes together is only 40% of the votes casted in total. So we can add their votes together and then find a fifth of the votes casted by dividing the 40% in half:

12+48=60

60/2=30

So now 30 votes are 20% of the total votes casted, now we just have to multiply by 5:

30*5=150

150 votes were casted
