A flagpole that is 21 ft tall casts a shadow that is 30 ft long. What is the angle of elevation of the sun when this shadow is cast?

34.99°

Step-by-step explanation:

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE FIQURE

Let angle( X) = angle if elevation

From trigonometry, tan(X)= opposite/ adjacent

Height of the flagpole= 21 ft , which is the opposite side

The base, adjacent side = 30 ft

If we substitute the values we have

Tan(X) = 21/30

Tan(X)= 0.7

Tan-1(0.7)=34.99°

Hence, the angle of elevation of the sun when this shadow will cast is 34.99°

15

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to solve it and find the product:

-13 × (-5)

solving the given expression in the standard order of solving a mathematical expression, beginning with the opening of brackets and then multiplying the terms and changing their signs.

-3 × -5 = 15 (answer is positive because when negative is multiplied with negative, it gives a positive answer)

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
