Shan used a surveying tool to map a region of land for his science class. To determine the height of a vertical rock formation, he measured the distance from the base of the formation to his position to the angle between the ground and the line of sight to the top of the formation. The distance was 43 meters, and the angle was 36°. What is the height of the formation to the nearest meter?

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

explanation:

infrared radiation has wavelength in the range between 700 nm and 1 mm. lets' convert these values into scientific notation, keeping in mind that:

let's start from the lower value, we have:

(we moved the dot two places to the left, so we increased the exponent by 2 units, from -9 to -7)

the higher value is:

so, the range of wavelength of infrared radiation is:

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
