What is the angle of elevation of the sun with the ground when the pole 7.6 meters casts a shadow 6.1 meters long?
Required angle has a tangent of 7.6/6.1 ie 1.249. This is 51.25 degrees.
A ladder should be erected at an angle to the ground of A 35 degrees B 75 degrees C 65 degrees D 85 degrees?
C 65
Why does a 45 degree angle shot go farther than 90 or 0 degree angle shots?
45 Degrees is exactly between 90 and 0 degrees so it is the maximim shot. If you shoot something 90 degrees it would go straight up. If you shoot somthing 0 degrees it hits the ground fastest because of gravity. But the 45 degree angle allows for the most lift and distance for an object to travel.
The ramp rises 20° from the ground and a vertical distance of 30 inches. How much horizontal distance does the ramp cover Round to the nearest tenth?
82.4 in
What is height width dept means?
Height - is the distance from the ground to the top of an object... width is the distance across the widest part... and depth is the measurement from front to back.
A person is holding a balloon with a thirty-foot string. The angle of elevation from the person's hand to the balloon is 35°. The person's hand is 6.5 feet above the ground. How high up is the balloon Round to the nearest foot?
Draw a right triangle. The balloon is at the top of the short side, and the base is the distance from the person's hand along a path parallel to the ground to where the balloon hovers. Since the angle is 35 degrees, we want the length of that short side, and we get it using the sine function of trigonometry. Sine = opposite over hypotenuse, so we can write an equation where "x" is the short side: x/30 = sin35 x/30 = 0.5736 x = 17.21 Now add to this the 6.5 feet that the person's hand is off the ground, and the balloon is 23.71 feet above the ground.
What is the Angle of elevation of Qutub Minar when you are at a distance of 5metre using trigonometry?
If you are looking for the angle of elevation from the ground to the top of Qutub Minar, here is a solution. Qutub Minar is 72.5 meters tall. The angle of elevation would equal arctan(72.5/5). It comes out to approximately 86.05 degrees.
What is the angle of elevation from the top of a bluilding from a point 165 feet away from the building on ground level is 26 degrees what is the height of the building?
The question is not quite clear but if the angle of elevation is 26 degrees at a distance of 165 feet away from the building then its height is 80.47587711 feet. 165*tan(26) = 80.47587711 feet
What is the height of a hill when the distance between its angles of elevation which are 20.92 degrees and 31 degrees on level ground is 110 meters?
Using trigonometry the height of the hill works out as 115.58 meters rounded to two decimal places
The pz that you are using is 830 feet long with a low elevation of 220 feet and a high elevation of 315 feetwhat is the ground slope?
7 degrees
A building is 60ft high From a distance at A on the ground the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 40 From a lil nearer at B the angle of elevation is 70 Find the distance from A to B?
Using the formula: tangent = opposite/adjacent whereas tangent angle = height/ground distance, will help to solve the problem
An engineer on the ground is looking at the top of a building the angle of elevation to the top of the building is 22 degrees the engineer knows the building is 450 ft tall what is the distance?
If the engineer's eye is at ground level, then the distance to the point on the building underneath its highest point is 450/tan(22) ft. If the engineer was standing and his eyes were x ft above the ground, the distance is (450-x)/tan(22) ft.
What is the height of a moutain when the distance between its angles of elevation which are 16.6 degrees and 22.3 degrees is 500 meters on level ground?
By drawing a sketch from the given information and then using trigonometry the height of the mountain works out as 546 meters rounded to the nearest whole number.
What is the angle of elevation to the sun when a tree 6 m high cast a shadow of 4.8 m on level ground?
51.34019175 degrees or as 51o20'24.69''
A hot air balloon is flying 500 feet from where your standing April is 275 feet away from you what is the distance between the hot air balloon and April?
Depends on 2 things. 1. The height of the balloon. The higher it is, the greater the distance between April and the balloon. 2. The direction of both in relation to you. Presuming the balloon is at ground level, if both are in the same direction, then the distance between them is 500 minus 275 ft. If they are in opposite directions then the distance is 500 plus 275 ft. If they are in varying directions the answer could be anything between these two results.
