The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
First you gotta change it to a fraction, which would be 6/10 because it's in the tenths place. Now simplify it, which would be 3/5.
The correct answer is not up there. its -125a^7
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
5. C. Liquid 2 because 3ml = 1g, 6ml = 2g
6 C. Lead because 75.7 divided by 6.7 = 11.3
7. C. Copper because 89 divided by 10 = 8.9
