Question

A 50-foot tree casts a shadow 75 feet long. How can you find sine for the angle of elevation that is determined by the sun and the top of the tree?

My answer is below.

Answer 1

c^2=502+752
c^2=5625+2500
c^2=8125
c=90.14
sin(θ)=50/90.14
sin(θ)=0.55

Answer 2

Is that correct? @phi @radar

Answer 3

50^2+75^2**

Answer 4

yes i had that.

Answer 5

\(50^2 + 75^2 = c^2\)

\(c = 90.14 ~ft\)

You got that right.

Answer 6

okay i'm following

Answer 7

\(\sin \theta = \dfrac{opp}{hyp} = \dfrac{50}{90.14} = 0.55\)

You got that right too.
Good job!
