Answer:
Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3
Explanation
Given the steps taken by bryce as shown, we are to find where he made an error
Given the expression;
Step 1:Expand the bracket using the distributive law;
8/3 = 3c + 3(5/3)
<em>Simplify</em>
8/3 = 3c + 15/3
Step 2: Subtract 15/3 from both sides
8/3 - 15/3 = 3c+15/3-15/3
(8-15)/3 = 3c
-7/3 = 3c
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 1/3
-7/3 * 1/3 = 3c * 1/3
-7/9 = c
Swap
c = -7/9
From the calculation, we can see that Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3 thereby making his solution incorrect

1.2 miles = 6,336 feet
IF the length is measured along the ground then:
tan (angle) = opp / adjacent
tan (angle) = 3,200 / 6,336
<span>tan (angle) = 0.505050505</span>
angle = 26.796 Degrees
IF the length is measured from the ground to the top then:
sin (angle) = opp / hypotenuse
<span>sin (angle) = 0.505050505</span>
angle = 30.335 Degrees
