@Mertsj

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did you look up the latitude for your town?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

no

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

i beleive it was using an example

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then what are you going to replace l with? The problem says that l is the latitude and a is the greatest angle of elevation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to look up that stuff

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then it says to find the latitude of your town.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

im not sure so i have to actually look up the latitude of my exact location......thats retarded >:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

google the latitude of your town then plug it in and evaluate and that should be your a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mertsj):

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Fill in the blank with the town where you live.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

**not posting my city on here lol**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL dont worry as a mod mertsj know :P thru IP

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You don't have to. Find it and substitute it into the equation given in the problem and solve for a

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

so would i round 34.1833 to 35?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

er 34 sorry

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Since the problem gives 3 significant digits, I would round to 34.2

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

a=90-34.2+23.5

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

a=79.3

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):
