A 5-foot tall person standing with her back to the sun casts an 12-foot long shadow. To the nearest degree, what angle does the sun make with the ground? Enter your answer in the box. °

Answer: 23°Explanation:1) Data:a) height of the person = opposite-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 5 ftb) length of the shadow = adjacent-leg to the angle the sun makes with the ground = 12 ftc) angle, α = ?2) Solutiontanα = opposite-leg / adjacent-legtanα = 5 ft / 12 5t = 5/12α = arctan(5/12) = 22.6°22.6° rounded to the nearest degree is 23° ← answer
