The chairlift at a ski resort has a vertical rise of 3200 feet. if the length of the ride is 1.2 miles, what is the average angl
e of elevation of the lift (to the nearest tenth of a degree)?
1 answer:
(see attached graphic)
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
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

Answer:
0.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The magnifying glass basically zooms into smaller objects. If the insect appears to be 2cm, then it is actually smaller than this. It cannot be 10 cm.
If the scale factor is 5, then this means that the insect is zoomed in 5 times through the magnifying glass. Use the following ratio:
This fraction can also be seen as division, so:
÷
The insect is actually 0.4 cm long.
(or 4 millimeters)
