a tree 15m high casts a shadow 8m long. To the nearest degree what is the angle of elevation of the sun?

Answered March 20, 2021

This is a right angle triangle where the hypotenuse a^2 = b^2 + c^2

= 15^2 + 8^2 = 225+64= 289

289= 17^2

17 = hypotenuse

The sine of an angle is the ratio of the shortest side to the hypotenuse

= 8/17= 0.4705

sine^-1 0.4705 = 28°

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice

a) 7x=7
