Answer:

Second option: False

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following identity:

[tex]sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

Let be "x" the lenght of the buildings's shadow.

[tex]opposite=x[/tex] (Lenght of building's shadow)

You can observe in the figure that:

[tex]\alpha=75\°\\\\hypotenuse=50ft[/tex]

Substitute these values into  [tex]sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] and solve for ""x":

[tex]sin(75\°)=\frac{x}{50}\\\\(50)(sin(75\°))=x\\\\x=48.29\°[/tex]

Therefore, the length of its shadow IS NOT 12.94 feet.
