The sun shines at a 30° angle to the ground. To the nearest inch, how long is the shadow cast by a 72-in. tall fence post?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

Explanation:

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence, h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = $\frac{perpendicular}{base} = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{72}{l} \\\\l = 72\sqrt{3} \\\\l = 124.7 in$

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in

An insect crawls 30 inches in 16.3 minutes. If

omeli [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 6 hours to minutes so that 6 hours and 16. 3 minutes can be in the same units.

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, then 6 hours = 6 x 60 minutes = 360 minutes

Since the insect has more minutes to crawl (360 minutes), then we expect more inches to be covered. Therefore, the ratio is 360 minutes to 16.3 minutes

= 360 minutes : 16.3 minutes

= 360 : 16.3

Now express the ratio as fraction and relate it with 30 inches

= 360/16.3 x 30/1

= 10800/16.3

= 662 .576687 and this is approximately 650 inches

Answer = 650 = (C)
