Avertical pole 6 feet long casts a shadow 55 inches long. find the angle of elevation of the sun. draw a diagram and find the angle of elevation of the sun. a.) 6.2° b.) 37.4° c.) 53.0°

A vertical pole(AB) 6 feet long casts a shadow(CB) 55 inches long as shown in the attached image. Since the angle of elevation of sun is . We hav to find the value of .

Firstly, we will change the dimensions of pole(in feet) to the dimension of shadow( in inches) . So, that the dimensions of pole and shadow are same.

Since, 1 feet = 12 inches.

6 feet = inches.

Now, let us consider the triangle ABC in the attached image,

We have to find

=

= 1.309

Length of the pole is = 6 feet=6*12=72 inches

Length of shadow of the pole = 55 inches

Here we use tangent function which relates height and shadow . Let the angle of elevation be x .

x= 52.6 degree= approx 53 degree

So the correct option is C.

linear

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit

step-by-step explanation:

fahrenheit is more precise than celsius. the ambient temperature on most of the inhabited world ranges from -20 degrees fahrenheit to 110 degrees fahrenheit—a 130-degree range. on the celsius scale, that range is from -28.8 degrees to 43.3 degrees—a 72.1-degree range. this means that you can get a more exact measurement of the air temperature using fahrenheit because it uses almost twice the scale.
