9. A building 62 feet tall casts a shadow 21 meters long. At what angle is the sun shining on the building?
A. 19.80
B. 18.71
C. 70.20
D. 71.29

Answers

Answer 1

First, we imagine a right triangle. Second, we are given that the building is 62 feet tall. Since the height of building is vertical straight - that means the height is opposite side of triangle. It also casts a shadow 21 meters long. Shadow should be the adjacent side because it casts on the ground and not on the air.

If we imagine the right triangle + the problem in our head, we'd get the triangle that the opposite side is 62 feet tall and the adjacent side is 21 meters long.

Use the tangent ratio to find the angle of sun shining.

[tex] \large \boxed{ \tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} }[/tex]

Substitute adjacent = 21 and opposite = 62 in the ratio.

[tex] \large{tan \theta = \frac{62}{21} }[/tex]

For this part, you might need a calculator or trigonometric table because some values cannot be exactly found.

From the equation, we should get 71.288 which we round the answer to nearest hundreth and the answer would be 71.29

Answer

The answer is 71.29
Answer 2

Answer:

71.29°

Step-by-step explanation:

By question its given that , a 62 feet tall tree cast a shadow of 21 m long. We need to find the angle at which the sun is shining on the building .

For this we gonna imagine a right angle triangle . Where , the length of the shadow will be the base of the triangle and the height of the building will be the perpendicular on the triangle .

Here since we have got perpendicular and base , we can use the ratio of tan . We know that tan is defined as perpendicular by base , that is ,

[tex]\implies tan \theta =\dfrac{perpendicular}{base}[/tex]

where theta is the angle between the Ray of the the sun and the the shadow of the building.

Plug in the respective values , we have ,

[tex]\implies tan \theta =\dfrac{62}{21} \\\\\implies\theta = tan^{-1}\bigg( \dfrac{62}{21}\bigg) \\\\\implies \underline{\underline{\theta = 71.29^o }}[/tex]

Hence the required answer is 71.29° .

Answers

Answer:

x = 2.4 or x = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² - 8x + 2 = 0

Quadratic formula

x = {-b ±√b² - 4ac} / 2a

a = 3

b = -8

c = 2

x = {-b ±√b² - 4ac} / 2a

= {-(-8) ±√(-8)² - 4*3*2} / 2*3

= (8 ± √64 - 24) / 6

= (8 ± √40) / 6

= (8 ± 2√10) / 6

= 8/6 ± 2√10/6

= 4/3 ± √10 / 6

x = 4/3 + √10 / 6 or 4/3 - √10 / 6

x = 2.4 or x = 0.3

Since segment AC bisects (aka cuts in half) angle A, this means the two angles CAB and CAD are the same measure. I'll refer to this later as "fact 1".

Triangles ABC and ADC have the shared segment AC between them. By the reflexive property AC = AC. Any segment is equal in length to itself. I'll call this "fact 2" later on.

Similar to fact 1, we have angle ACB = angle ACD. This is because AC bisects angle BCD into two smaller equal halves. I'll call this fact 3

----------------------

To summarize so far, we have these three facts

angle CAB = angle CADAC = ACangle ACB = angle ACD

in this exact order, we can use the ASA (angle side angle) congruence property to prove the two triangles are congruent. Facts 1 and 3 refer to the "A" parts of "ASA", while fact 2 refers to the "S" of "ASA". The order matters. Notice how the side is between the angles in question.

------------------------

Once we prove the triangles are congruent, we use CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) to conclude that AB = AD and BC = BD. These pair of sides correspond, so they must be congruent in order for the entire triangles to be congruent overall.

It's like saying you had 2 identical houses, so the front doors must be the same. The houses are the triangles (the larger structure) and the door is an analogy to the sides (which are pieces of the larger structure).

-2x+x= 3 +18

-x=21

x=-21

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

−2(x+9)=−1(x+−1)+2

Use distributive property

-2x - 18 = -1x + 1 +2

-2x - 18 = -1x + 3

      +18         +18

-2x = -1x +21

___________

-x = 21

we need to have a positive x so multiply x by -1. -x times -1 = x

So, 21 times -1 = -21

Therefore, x = -21

What is the measure of angle 7?

Answers

Answer:

82 degrees is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

angle 6 and 7 are adjacent angles and adjacent angles add up to 180 deg. thus

angle 7 = 180 - 98 = 82 deg

The measure of ∠6 and ∠7 are on a straight line. This means there sum is equals to 180 degrees. Therefore, the measure of ∠7 is 82 degrees.

What is the sum of angle on a straight line?

The sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees. This simply means the total angle on a straight line is 180 degrees.

∠6 = 98 degrees

Therefore,

∠6 + ∠7 = 180°(angles on a straight line)

∠6 = 98 degrees

Hence,

98 + ∠7 = 180

subtract 98 from both sides

98 - 98 + ∠7 = 180 - 98

∠7 = 82 degrees.

A bag contains five blue marbles, five red marbles, five white marbles, and five black marbles. You draw a marble from the bag, and then draw another marble from the bag.

Do you have a greater probability of drawing two blue marbles if you replace the first marble after you draw it or if you don't replace the marble?

Your answer should include both the mathematical proof and a written statement.

Answers

Answer:

If you replace the first marble, you have a higher chance of picking two blue marbles. Mathematical proof and written statement is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematical Proof :

For proof, we should test it out.

To find the total amount of marbles, we add up all the different colors in the bag.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20

Drawing 2 blue marbles while replacing the first probability :

The probability of drawing a blue marble at first is 5/20. If you then replace this marble, the probability doesn't change, it's still 5/20. To get the probability of getting two blue marbles and not replacing we multiply :

5/20 * 5/20 = 25/400 = 1/16

Drawing 2 blue marbles while NOT replacing the first probability :

The probability of first choosing a blue marble is 5/20, but you don't replace it, so now the probability of choosing a blue marble is 4/19, since one blue marble was taken. To find the probability of drawing two blue marbles but not replacing the first one we are going to have to multiply 5/20 * 4/19. That's 1/19.

So the probability of getting two blue marbles and replacing the first is 1/16, and the probability of getting two blue marbles and not replacing the first is 1/19. Well, which is greater? 1/16 is greater. If you replace the first marble, you have a higher chance of picking two blue marbles.

Written Statement :

If you replace the first marble you have a higher chance of getting two blue because you are increasing the number of blue marbles in the 20 total marbles. Now there is a greater number of blue marbles there is a greater chance you will pick blue.

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Angles together have a 180 degrees, set your formula up as

180=(10x-20)+(6x+8)

180=10x+6x-20+8

180+20-8=16x

192=16x

192/16=x

12=x

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles form a straight line so they add to 180

10x-20 + 6x+8 = 180

Combine like terms

16x -12 = 180

Add 12 to each side

16x-12+12=180+12

16x = 192

Divide each side by 16

16x/16 =192/16

x = 12
