Answer:

  • 23°

Explanation:

1) Data:

a) height of the person = opposite-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 5 ft

b) length of the shadow = adjacent-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 12 ft

c) angle, α = ?

2) Solution

  • tanα = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg

  • tanα = 5 ft / 12 5t = 5/12

  • α = arctan(5/12) = 22.6°

  • 22.6° rounded to the nearest degree is 23° ← answer

Answer:

23 degrees
