Apole, 4m high, 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.

Length of the shadow of the pole is 6.93 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the pole = 4 m

The angle sun makes with the horizontal = 30 degrees

To Find:

Length of the shadow of the pole = ?

Solution:

The tangent ratio is the value received when the length of the side opposite of angle theta is divided by the length of the side adjacent to angle theta

Let x be the length of the shadow

According to the tangent ratio

On substituting the values,

x  = 6.93 m

explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

only one solution to the system of equations

step-by-step explanation:

if the graph of the equations do not intersects(i.,e if they are parallel) then, there are no solutions that are true for both the equations.

if the graph of the equations intersects, then there is one solution and that is true for both the equations.

since, in the given figure:

the two lines intersect each other

⇒there is only one solution which satisfy both the lines of an equations.

therefore, there is only one solution to the system of equation
