Hello!
As you can see, 22 is the opposite angle. We are looking for the adjacent angle. Let's just call it x. Using SOH CAH TOA, we see that the tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. Let's use that.
tan54≈1.38
This gives us the equation below.
1.38=22/x
Let's solve this equation for x.
1.38x=22
x=22/1.38
x=15.94
Therefore, the length of the shadow is about 15.94 meters.
I hope this helps!
Answer: Choice C) Same-side interior angles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angle 4 and angle 6 are on the same side, in this case the right hand side of the transversal line (line t). In addition, they are on the interior of the "train tracks" horizontal lines (line a and line b). Combine this and this is why the two angles are same-side interior angles
Side note: if line a is parallel to line b, then angle 4 and angle 6 add to 180 degrees. At this point, they are considered supplementary.
To calculate the velocity, we use the given expression above which is <span>s(t) = −16t^2 + 144. First, we calculate the time it takes to reach the ground. Then, differentiate the expression and substitute time to the differentiated expression.
</span>s(t) = −16t^2 + 144
0 = -16t^2 + 144
t = 3
s'(t) = v = -32t
v = -32(3)
v = -96
Note: negative sign signifies that the object is going down
