A building 240 feet tall casts a 40 foot long shadow. If a person stands at the end of the shadow and looks up to the top of the

building, what is the angle of the person's eyes to the top of the building (to the nearest hundredth of a degree)? (Assume the person's eyes are 4 feet above ground level.)

Answer:

  80.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

The person is standing 40 ft from the building. The point they're looking at is 236 ft above their eyes. So the angle α is found from ...

  tan(α) = 236/40

  α = arctan(236/40) ≈ 80.38°

Consider the following equation
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The perpendicular line is:

y = 1/3  x + 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation can be reduced to its slope-intercept form as shown below:

3x + 9y = 8y - 2

subtract 8 y from both sides

3 x + y = -2

subtract 3 x from both sides

y = - 3 x -2

therefore we know that the slope of this line is -3, and then, a perpendicular line to it must have slope given by the "opposite of the reciprocal" of this slope. That is, the slope of any perpendicular line to this one must be: 1/3

We use this slope to find the equation of the line passing through the point (13. 5)

y = 1/3 x + b

passing through (13, 5) means:

5 = 1/3 (13) + b

therefore, we can find b from the above equation

b = 5 - 13/3 = 15/3 - 13/3 = 2/3

Then the equation of this perpendicular line is:

y = 1/3  x + 2/3
