when the angle of elevation of the sun is 78 degrees, an Statue casts a shadow that is 6m long. How far is the top of the statue to the end of it's shadow?
Answers
Answer:
28.9 m
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture. The statue is on the right, with the top of the statue representing the top right corner of the triangle. The angle of elevation to the sun is 78 degrees, so the angle between the shadow and the top of the statue must be 78 degrees as well. Assuming there is no angle of elevation between the shadow and the statue, we can say that the shadow and statue form a 90 degree angle because the shadow is perfectly horizontal and the statue is perfectly vertical.
We are trying to find the hypotenuse of the triangle, or the length from the top of the statue to the end of the shadow. To do this, we can utilize the fact that
cos(x) = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos(78°) = 6 / hypotenuse
divide both sides by cos(78°) and multiply both sides by hypotenuse to solve for the hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 6/cos(78°) ≈ 28.9 m

Answers
A) Total number of old plans = 3500 + 4700 = 8200
In the new month, the unlimited plans increased by 55%, which adds
0.55 • 3500 = 1925
unlimited plans, while the limited plans decreased by 25%, which subtracts
0.25 • 4700 = 1175
limited plans. Then
Total number of new plans = (3500 + 1925) + (4700 - 1175) = 8950
which corresponds to a percent change of
(8950 - 8200)/8200 ≈ 0.0915 = 9.15%
That is, percent change is given by
(new value - old value) / (old value)
B) The percent change is positive, so it's a percent increase.

jared bought 7 cans of paint. a can of red paint costs 3.75. a can of black paint costs 2.75. jared spent 22.25 in all. how many cans of black (b) and how many cans of red (r) did he buy?
r+b=7
3.75 + 2.75 = 22.25
this is a lesson in 8th grade math.
Answers
Answer:
Hallo, I will help you with the problem T^T
Step-by-step explanation:
3.75r + 2.75b = 22.25
3.75r = The amount a red can costs, MULTIPLIED BY the amount of red cans they bought!
2.75b = The amount a black can costs, MULTIPLIED BY the amount of black cans they bought!
So this means that they bought:
3 cans of red paint.
And 4 cans of black paint.
Now you may be thinking, how do you know?
If you multiply the COST 3.75, by 3 cans of red paint, you get 11.25
And then if you multiply the COST of the black paint (The cost for a can of black paint is 2.75) multiply that by 4, you get 11 :0
So add 11 + 11.25 and you get 22.25 :]
Comment if you have any questions, no matter how insignificant you think they may be, I will help you :]

Solve for a
1/12 a +21 = 25
Answers
Hope This Helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
First off we need to take the whole equation and multiply it so that we can get rid of the fractioned exponent. The number we would use is 12, giving us the new equation: a + 252 = 300. We then can subtract 252 from both sides of the equation, to get the exponent by itself and intentionally create an answer. This would be: a + 252 = 300,-252=48 or a = 48
We are left with A being equal to 48.
[tex]\dfrac 1{12} \cdot a +21 = 25\\\\\\\implies \dfrac a{12} = 25-21\\\\\\\implies \dfrac a{12} =4 \\\\\\\implies a = (12)(4) = 48[/tex]

write an expression to calculate d for any star
Answers
By calculating the distance of a star to the Sun, astronomers can calculate the distance from Earth to the star.
[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{The \ \mathbf{expression} \ to \ calculate \ \mathit{d} \ for \ any \ \mathbf{star} \ is; \ \underline{d \ is \ \frac{1 \, AU}{tan(\theta)}}}[/tex]Reasons
The given parameters are;
The distance from the star to the Sun = d
The angle formed by the ray to the Sun and the ray to Earth from the star, θ = 0.00001389 degrees
The average distance from Earth to the Sun = 1 AU
By trigonometric ratios, we have;
[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \mathbf{\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}}[/tex]
Therefore;
[tex]\displaystyle tan(\theta) = \frac{1}{d}[/tex]
The expression to calculate for d for any star is therefore;
[tex]\displaystyle \underline{ d \ is \ \frac{1 \, AU}{tan(\theta) }}[/tex]The angle given for θ for the referenced star is θ = 0.00001389
Therefore;
[tex]\displaystyle d = \frac{1 \, AU}{tan(0.00001389^{\circ}) } \approx 4,124,966.13 \, AU[/tex]
