Answer:

8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of person = 2metres

Length of person's shadow = 6 meters

Height of flagpole =?

Length of flagpole shadow = 24 meters

Height of person = length of person's shadow

Height of flagpole = length of person's shadow

2 = 6

x = 24

Cross multiply

6x = 48

x = 48 / 6

x = 8 meters

What is the approximate area of the circle shown below?
Lelu [443]

Hey there!

Formula: πr^2

r = radius

pi = 3.1415926535898 (but we can say it approximately equals 3.14)

Your equation (3.14)(4.2)^2 = answer

4.2^2 = 4.2 × 4.2 = 17.64

New equation: 17.64 × 3.14 = 55.3896

We round our answer to the nearest tenth

Answer: 55.4 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Can you guys help me out on this? I'm still learning sign, cosign, and tangent :)

Answer:

\sin d = \frac{4}{7} ; \sin e = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{7}

\cos d = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{7} ; \cos e = \frac{4}{7}

\tan d = \frac{4}{\sqrt{33} } ; \tan e = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

For a right angled triangle with one of its angle α (alpha) :-

  • \sin \alpha = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \alpha }{Hypotenuse \: of \: the \: triangle}
  • \cos \alpha  = \frac{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \alpha }{Hypotenuse \: of \: the \: triangle}
  • \tan \alpha  = \frac{Side \: opposite \: to \: \alpha }{Side \: adjacent \: to \: \alpha }

__________________________________________________

According to the question ,

1) When α (alpha) = d

  • \sin d = \frac{4}{7}
  • \cos d = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{7}
  • \tan d = \frac{4}{\sqrt{33} }

2) When α (alpha) = e

  • \sin e = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{7}
  • \cos e = \frac{4}{7}
  • \tan e = \frac{\sqrt{33} }{4}
