It should be approximately 1.26 inches, or 1 1/4 inch to the nearest quarter inch.

Is the length of your shadow the same as your height?

No. Only if the ground is level and the light source is very far away and at a 45 degree angle.


What does 1 degree equal in height per inch?

.017 PER DEGREE PER INCH. For example, an angle of 3 degrees for a length of 10.000 inches would be a height difference of .510.


What is the formula for calculating the length of a forty five degree angle?

There is none since an angle does not have a length.


What is 45 degrees of the sun?

A 45 degree sun angle indicates that the sun is halfway between the horizon and directly overhead (known as the zenith). Such an angle causes the length of an object's shadow to be equal to the object's height.


Was the difference between height and slant height?

Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.


Devices to measure?

1. Ruler (length, height, width) 2. Meter Stick (length, height, width) 3. Protractor (angle)


A 30-60-90 triangle has a hypotenuse of length 44. What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?

I assume your 90 degree angle is on the right and the 30 degree angle is opposite that. ( degree mode ) sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse sin 30 degrees = opp./44 = 22


How do you find the circumference of a circle that has an arc length and angle degree?

The total circumference is (arc length) times (360) divided by (the angle degrees)


What is the length of the side opposite the 30 degree angle?

It depends on the length of the other two sides which creates that angle. Not enough information was given. However, you can simply use the Cosine rule to find it if the other two lengths are known. a2=b2+c2- 2bccosA (A=30 and a is the length of the side opposite to 30 degree angle; b and c is the length of the sides which makes up the 30 degree angle)


What is the base of triangle when you know height and degree?

Height and degree only give the base in right triangles, because in that case you'd know angle-side-angle (because you know one is 90 degrees).


What does a 45 degree angle look like?

Like a 3 sided triangle each side being of equal length -- correction -- That's a 60 degree angle!. A 45 degree angle is formed in a right-angle triangle when the other two sides are of equal length. --correction-- learn your maths!?! .....................that was mean sorry


How do you find the arc length with the angle given?

An arc can be measured either in degree or in unit length. An arc is a portion of the circumference of the circle which is determined by the size of its corresponding central angle. We create a proportion that compares the arc to the whole circle first in degree measure and then in unit length. (measure of central angle/360 degrees) = (arc length/circumference) arc length = (measure of central angle/360 degrees)(circumference) But, maybe the angle that determines the arc in your problem is not a central angle. In such a case, find the arc measure in degree, and then write the proportion to find the arc length.
