The whooping crane is Canada’s tallest bird. When the angle of elevation of the sun
decreases from 30° to 25°, the length of a whooping crane’s shadow increases by 62 cm.
How tall is the whooping crane?

Sagot :

The crane is 139.8cm tall.

what is angle of elevation?

The angle formed by the line of sight and the horizontal plane for an object above the horizontal.

Using Trigonometry

tan 30 = h/y

1/√3 = h/y

y= h√3

and, tan 25= h/y+62

         0.96= h/(h√3 +62)

             h= 0..96 (h√3 +62)

             h= 0.96*h*1.732+0.96*62

             h=0.796h +28.52

             0.2404h= 28.52

                  h= 139.8 cm

Hence, whooping crane is 139.8 cm.
