Answer:
(a) 169.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shows you the distance (x) will be shorter than 170 m, but almost that length. The only reasonable answer choice is ...
169.1 m
__
The relevant trig relation is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
The leg of the right triangle adjacent to the marked angle is x, and the hypotenuse is 170 m. Putting these values into the equation, you have ...
cos(6°) = x/(170 m)
x = (170 m)cos(6°) ≈ (170 m)(0.994522) ≈ 169.069 m
The horizontal distance covered is about 169.1 meters.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Expressed as a percentage, the slope of this hill is tan(6°) ≈ 10.5%. It would be considered to be a pretty steep hill for driving.
(a) You can plant 7 1/4 acres per pound of seed
(b) Isabel takes 7 minutes to run a mile
I did where you subtract 4 from both sides then divide 2 from 4 and you get 0.5 as x for your answer but im not sure
Answer:
Decreasing, negative slope
Step-by-step explanation:
Bc the slope is -2x in this equation therefore its a negative slope.
