Answer:
1. $0.80 or 80 cents
2. 1.25 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation p=0.8L represents the price p (in dollars) of a piece of nylon rope that is L meters long.
1. To find how much the nylon costs per meter, take L = 1 (this means you are calculating the price of a piece of nylon rope that is 1 meter long):
2. To find how long a piece of nylon rope that costs $1.00 is, substitute into the equation p = 1:
Since s and t are complimentary, that means ∠s + ∠t = 90
From the picture, we also know that ∠t + ∠LGM = 90
Set them equal to each other:
∠s + ∠t = ∠t + ∠LGM, solve:
∠s = ∠LGM
Now using the fact that tangent = opposite/adjacent:
tan (∠s) =
tan (∠s) =
Set them equal to each other to get:
=
Solve:
Part B:
Using tan (∠s) =
We get: meters
Hope that helps!
