Answer:

We can use the <u>tan trig ratio</u> to calculate the steepness of each run.

The side <em>opposite</em> the angle is the <em>vertical </em>distance of each path.

The side <em>adjacent </em>to the angle is the <em>horizontal </em>distance of each path.

(see attached diagram)

<u>Tan trig ratios</u>

\sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{O}{A}

where:

  • \theta is the angle
  • O is the side opposite the angle
  • A is the side adjacent the angle

<u>Little Thunder</u>

\implies \sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{2}{7}

\implies \sf \theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{2}{7}\right)

\implies \sf \theta=16^{\circ} \: (nearest\:degree)

Rating = EASY (green circle)

<u>Dodge Ridge</u>

\implies \sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{2}{3}

\implies \sf \theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)

\implies \sf \theta=34^{\circ} \: (nearest\:degree)

Rating = MODERATE (blue square)

<u>Wild Side</u>

\implies \sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{4}{4}=1

\implies \sf \theta=\tan^{-1}(1)

\implies \sf \theta=45^{\circ}

Rating = DIFFICULT (black diamond)

<u>Pacific Crest</u>

\implies \sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{4}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}

\implies \sf \theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

\implies \sf \theta=27^{\circ} \: (nearest\:degree)

Rating = EASY (green circle)

<u>Thunderbolt</u>

\implies \sf \tan(\theta)=\dfrac{6}{2}=3

\implies \sf \theta=\tan^{-1}(3)

\implies \sf \theta=72^{\circ} \: (nearest\:degree)

Rating = DIFFICULT (black diamond)

Which information about the coordinates of G and H will prove that GH is a median of AABC?
Annette [7]

Answer:

G (3,-4) ; H (8,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula:

(x₁ + x₂ / 2 , y₁ + y₂ / 2)

For G (Points B and A):

(3 + 3 / 2 , 1 + (-9) / 2)

(6/2 , -8 / 2)

(3,-4)

For H (Points B and C):

(3 + 13 / 2 , 1 + 1 / 2)

(16 / 2 , 2 / 2)

(8,1)

A line passes through the point (1,4) and is perpendicular to the line with equations y=-1/5x+2. what's the equation of the line
jekas [21]

To find the slope of the perpendicular line, you can take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular to.

Taking the negative reciprocal of -1/5 gives 5.

Now we have y=5x+b, where b is the y-intercept. Since we know that the perpendicular line passes through the point (1,4), we can substitute those values into the equation we have to find b.

y=5x+b

4=5(1)+b

4=5+b

b=-1

Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=5x-1.
