Atree 10 meters high casts a 17.3 meter shadow. find the angle of elevation of the sun.

30.03 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

You have labeled this diagram correctly.

The trig function that links the side opposite the angle x   and   the length of the shadow is the tangent function.

Here, tan x = (opposite side) / (adjacent side) = (10 m) / (17.3 m), or 0.578.

Starting from tan x = 0.578, use the inverse tangent function to find the angle, first in radians and then in degrees:

arctan 0.578 = 0.524 radians

Converting this to degrees yields 30.03 degrees.    This is the angle of elevation of the sun from the horizontal, from the point where the observer is standing.

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.
