A tower that is 166 feet tall casts a shadow 167 feet long. Find the angle of elevation of the sun to the
nearest degree.
Answers
Answer:
The angle is approximately [tex]45^\circ[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We should start with a diagram (like the one attached). Notice the length of the tower and the length of the shadow are the legs of a right triangle, and the angle of elevation is an acute angle of that triangle.
Since we are given the opposite and adjacent sides to the angle, we will use the tangent function:
[tex]\tan{\theta}=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}[/tex]
In this case, the opposite side is the height of the tower, 166 ft. The adjacent side is the length of the shadow, 167 ft. So, we have:
[tex]\tan{\theta}=\frac{166}{167}[/tex]
To get the angle, we need to use inverse tangent:
[tex]\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{166}{167})\\\theta \approx 45[/tex]
The angle is approximated [tex]45^\circ[/tex] when rounded to the nearest degree.

What is trigonometry?Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.
We know the general equation for the cosine function:
[tex]\rm y = A\ cos(bx-c)+d[/tex]
Where A is the amplitude
We have a wall clock that varies from 9 feet to 10 feet.
The value of 'A' is given by:
[tex]\rm A = \frac{10-9}{2} \Rightarrow 0.5[/tex]
b is the cycle speed, we know:
[tex]\rm T = \frac{2\pi}{b}[/tex] (T is period)
[tex]\rm12 = \frac{2\pi}{b}[/tex]
[tex]\rm b=\frac{\pi}{6}[/tex]
The value of d is given by:
[tex]\rm d = \frac{10+9}{2}[/tex]
d = 9.5
The equation can be modeled:
[tex]\rm h = 0.5\ cos(\frac{\pi}{6} t)+9.5[/tex] (c =0 and y =h)
Thus, the equation is [tex]\rm h = 0.5\ cos(\frac{\pi}{6} t)+9.5[/tex]

Hey there!
Guide:
• Difference means subtract/subtraction
• Product means multiply/multiplication
• Quotient means divide/division
• Sum means add/addition
• “more than”, “greater than” or “increased by” either means add/addition or >
• “less than, “smaller than”, or “decreased by” either means subtract/subtraction or <
• “unknown number” is a number we’re NOT so sure yet so we label them as variables. A variable is any letter from A to Z.
ANYWAYS, LETS ANSWER the QUESTION
“22 more than 2 twice a number”
• Since, your instructions say that “n” will be the unknown number, we should label the unknown number as that!
“22 MORE THAN twice a NUMBER”
This could be simply written as:
“22 > 2n” or even “2n + 22”
But we will just say that’s [2n + 22] would mostly fit this scenario

Select the correct answer. robin randomly selects a number between 1 and 20. what is the probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number? a. b. c. d. e.
Answers
The probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number will be [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].
What is probability?Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1.
Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.
P is the probability
F(E) is the favorable event
T(E)is the total event
The probability is found as;
[tex]\rm P = \frac{F(E)}{T(E)} \\\\ \rm P = \frac{4}{20)} \\\\ \rm P = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Hence the probability that the number selected is the square of a natural number will be [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

A number is selected at random from {1, 2, 3} three times probability that 1 is selected at least once?
Answers
The probability that one is selected is the likelihood
The probability that one is selected at least once is 0.704
How to calculate the probability?The sample space is given as:
S = {1,2,3}
The probability that 1 is not selected at all is:
P'(None) = 2/3
The probability that one is selected at least once is calculated using the following complement rule
P(At least once) = 1 - P(None)^3
This gives
P(At least once) = 1 -(2/3)^3
Evaluate
P(At least once) = 0.704
Hence, the probability that one is selected at least once is 0.704
