Apole, 4m high, as shown in figure 2, stands, vertically, on
level ground. if the sun is at an angle of 30° to the horizontal,
how long is the shadow.

use the tangent ratio to solve the problem.

6.92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the image is the attached below, we have a right triangle, where one of the legs is the 4 m high pole and the other leg the shadow.

Now, the tangent function is defined as:

Since the Sun is at an angle and the adjacent leg is the shadow we have:

Isolating :

This is the length of the shadow

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4
