A 15 ft tree casts a 9 foot shadow on the ground. What is the angle of elevation formed by the tree’s shadow and the sun? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

59.04

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to make a right triangle, 15 would be the altitude (height), and 9 would be the base. You need the angle of elevation which is going the angle of the hypotenuse going upwards. (Bottom Left/Right Corner.) From that angle you need to solve for arctan (Used for solving the measure of angle.) Simply plug into your calculator arctan(15/9) to get the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
