If a 6 ft tall man casts a 9 ft shadow, then how long is the shadow that a 10 ft tall adult elephant casts

We have 2 similar triangles here so the  correcponding sides are in the same proportion.:-

6/10 = 9 / x

6x = 90

x = 15

The elephant casts a shadow  15 feet long/

9.55 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:

the given angle is

1 cycle is equal to 2π radians. so 4π will be equal to two cycles.

5.166667π-4π = 1.166667π

hence, this angle goes a little more than negative x axis.

1.166667π-π= 0.166667π

hence, the reference angle is 0.166667π radians.

1 radian = 57.2958 degrees

now, in degrees, this should be equals to 9.55 degrees.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
