The sun is 25 degrees above the horizon. find the length of a shadow cast by a building that is 100 feet tall. round your answer to two decimal places. the length of the shadow is feet.

Answer
214.45 feet

Explanation
The sun is 250 above the horizon. This means that the angle of elevation is 25o.
Since you have been given the height of the building, you can use the trigonometric ratio (tangent) to find the length of the shadow (l).
tan⁡〖= 〗 oposite/adjacent
tan⁡25=100/l
l=100/tan⁡25 =214.4506921
Length of the shadow = 214.4506921 feet 

214.45 feet.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

Let x be the length of building's shadow.

We have been given that the sun is 25 degrees above the horizon. The length of the building is 100 feet tall.

We can see from our attachment that the length of the building is opposite side and the length of the shadow is adjacent side for the angle of 25 degrees.

Since tangent relates the opposite side of right triangle with adjacent side, so we can set an equation to find the length of building's shadow as:

     

Therefore, the length of shadow cast by the building is 214.45 feet.

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:

all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
