Answer:
B. 150 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Triangle = .5 * Base * height
So we need the height of the triangle, or the missing side.
We have to use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
15 ^ 2 + B ^ 2 = 25 ^2
b^2 = 25^2 - 15 ^ 2
b^2 = 625 - 225
b^2 = 400
sqrt (400) = 20
The missing height is 20. Now we plug it into 1/2 * b * H
.5 * 15 * 20
7.5 * 20 = 150
150 Yds
Answer:
C. (1,18)
Explanation
If you don’t know how to find it, just plug in the values into the equation until they are equal to each other
46/287.5 = .16
.16x287.5 = 46
The answer is 16%
Finding gradient:
m = y2 - y1
x2 - x1
= -1 - 6
1 - 3
= -7 / (-2)
= 7/2
y = m(x - x1) + y1
y = 7(x - 3) + 6
2
2y = 7x - 21 + 12
2y = 7x - 9
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.

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.
