Answer:

15.2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4÷(x+4)=1.4÷(x-4)

1.4(x+4)=2.4(x-4)

1.4x+5.6=2.4x-9.6

-x=-15.2

x=15.2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The angle \theta at which the sun is hitting the ground is:

\theta\approx 59.74^o

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use right angle trigonometry to solve this, since the man (6 ft tall) and the shadow on the ground (3.5 ft long) form a right angle triangle as shown on the attached image.

The use the tangent function to find the angle that the sun's rays make with the ground:

tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan(\theta)=\frac{6}{3.5} \\\theta=arctan(\frac{6}{3.5})\\\theta\approx 59.74^o
