The solution is in the attached file below
Answer:
b = 55 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles 30, a, b and 45 must sum up to 180 degrees
Subtracting (30 + 45) from both sides leaves us with a + b = 105 degrees.
But b = a + 5. Substituting a + 5 in the equation above yields
a + a + 5 = 105 degrees, so that
2a = 100 degrees, and a = 50 degrees. Then b = a + 5, or b = 55 degrees.

Answer:
The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.
We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant
Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have
Height of fence = 5 ft.
Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ
This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base
Therefore, the length of the base is given as
Height × cos θ
= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft
The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.
