Draw another line making an angle of 28°, passing through the tip of the overhang to the wall. If the height of sunlight on the wall is x, then
(20-x)/6.11 = tan 28°
Hi this is a two part question. I got the first part but can't figure out second. Please help!
A home is designed to keep sun off outside south wall during summer months and have wall exposed to dun as much as possible during winter months. The highest angle of sun in summer is 73 degrees.
