Answer: From the 60° angle, the flagpole is the opposite side and the shadow is the adjacent side of the triangle.

tangent 60° = opposite/adjacent  

so

tan 60°  = 20/x

multiply both sides by x and you have

x · tan60° = 20

divide both sides by tan 60° and you have

x = 20/tan60°

x = 11.5 ft.

if this is wrong sorry don’t be mad but if it’s right then hope this helps

Use the information frompart a to write an equation representing the number of colories burned each minute while bowling. Let m
Fofino [41]

Answer:

To find the number of calories burned:

Find the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) value of the task.

Calculate the number of calories burned per minute. (MET x body weight in kg x 3.5) / 200.

Multiply the calories burned per minute by the number of minutes of activity.

Now, as per the question, weight is 125 pounds (lb), we will convert the weight in kilogram (kg) which is 1 lb = 0.453 kg, it means 125 lb = 56.7

Now we have to find the MET,

A metabolic equivalent (MET) value is a measurement of the energy cost of a specific physical activity for a specific period of time.

For example. A MET of 1 would be roughly equivalent to a person's energy expenditure from sitting still in a room temperature and not actively digesting food.

As per the Calorie guide value of MET for bowling is 3.9

Now the overall formula is

Calorie Burn (x) = ((MET * body weight in kg * 3.5) / 200) * (Number of minutes) m

x = ((3.9*56.7*3.5)/200) * m

Finally, x = 3.87 m represents the number of calorie burned (x) while bowling m minutes.
