Hi there!
We can use right-triangle trigonometry to solve.
We are given the HYPOTENUSE and ADJACENT sides, so we must use cosine in this instance.
cosθ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
We can plug in what is given:
cos(28) = A/17
Solve for 'A':
17cos(28) = <u>15.01 ft</u>
The correct answer is B.30 inches
Answer:
The train going 30 miles in 1/3 hour is going faster than the other train.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate each rate by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it takes to cover that distance:
30 / (1/3) = 90 mph
20 / (1/2) = 40 mph
Answer: 7 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
The athlete planned to run 3 miles
1 lap = 3/7 miles
x laps = 3 miles
by proportion :
x × 3/7miles = 3 miles
x = 3 ÷ 3/7
x = 3 x 7/3
x = 7
Therefore: the athlete will run 7 laps
