34. SUN The ability of an object to absorb energy is related to a factor called the emissivity e of the object. The
emissivity can be calculated by using the formula
, where W is the rate at which a person’s skin absorbs
energy from the Sun, S is the energy from the Sun in watts per square meter, A is the surface area exposed to the
Sun, and θ is the angle between the Sun’s rays and a line perpendicular to the body.
a. Solve the equation for W. Write your answer using only sin θ or cos θ.
2
b. Find W if e = 0.80, θ = 40°, A = 0.75m
, and S = 1000 W/m2. Round to the nearest hundredth.
SOLUTION:
a.
b. Substitute the values of e, θ, A and S and evaluate.
35. CCSS MODELING The map shows some of the buildings in Maria’s neighborhood that she visits on a regular
basis. The sine of the angle θ formed by the roads connecting the dance studio, the school, and Maria’s house is
