When the sun has risen 32 degrees above the horizon, sandy casts a shadow that is 9 feet 2 inches long. how tall is sandy, to the nearest inch?

The height of Sandy is 68.74 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the sun has risen 32 degrees above the horizon. It means the angle of elevation is 32°.

Let the height of Sandy be x.

Sandy casts a shadow that is 9 feet 2 inches long.

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

Using this conversion, we get

Shadow = 9 feet 2 inches = 9(12)+2 = 110 inches

In a right angled triangle,

In triangle ABC,

Multiply both sides by 110.

Therefore the height of Sandy is 68.74 inches.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
