The sun cast a shadow of a 10 foot three on the ground with an angle of elevation of 33° if you are standing on the tip of the shadow approximately how far are you from the tree

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Distance between tree and tip of shadow is 8.386 foot  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as  :

The measure of shadow of tree = 10 foot

The angle of elevation with ground = 33°

Let The distance between tree and shadow tip = x foot

Now ,

Cos Ф = [tex]\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

Or, Cos  33° = [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

Or, 0.8386 = [tex]\frac{x}{10}[/tex]

∴  x =  0.8386 × 10 = 8.386 foot

Hence The Distance between tree and tip of shadow is 8.386 foot  Answer
