A 15-inch candle is lit and steadily burns until it is burned out. Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches) a
nd let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).
a. Write a formula that expresses r in terms of b.When 3.1 inches have burned from the candle, the remaining length of the candle is inches.
b. Graph the relationship between a and b
a. Write a formula that expresses r in terms of b.When 3.1 inches have burned from the candle, the remaining length of the candle is inches.
b. Graph the relationship between a and b
1 answer:
Answer:
(a)r=15-b
11.9 Inches
(b)See attached
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the candle =15 inch
Let b represent the burned length of the candle (in inches)
Let r represent the remaining length of the candle (in inches).
Therefore:
(a) r+b=15
r=15-b
When b=3,1 Inches
Remaining Length, r=15-3.1=11.9 Inches
(b)The graph showing te relationship between r and b is shown below.
r is plotted on the y-axis while b is plotted on the x-axis as labelled.

Answer:
119.45 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
When angle of elevation of the sun changes from 58° to 36° the length of shadow of a pole increases by 90 m.
To find:
Length of pole = ?
Solution:
Kindly refer to the attached image.
represents the 1st angle of elevation of sun i.e. 58°
represents the 2nd angle of elevation of sun i.e. 36°
Change in shadow is represented by CD = 90 m
Let height of pole, AB = m
Let side BC = m
Now, let us apply tangent rules in one by one:
Putting value of using equation (1):
119.45 m is the height of pole.
