A zip line is setup 150ft in the air, where a person can expect to zip line at a safe declining speed to the ground as they pass

over a body of water, said to be 40 ft in length. Assuming that this cable were stretched tight, where the zip liner is approaching the ground at a 40∘ angle (not the top angle), how many feet of ground would be covered horizontally by the zip liner, not including the body of water? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

139 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So the zip line forms a right triangle.  The height of the triangle is 150 ft, and the opposite angle is 40°.  The horizontal distance covered by the zip liner can be found with trigonometry, specifically with tangent.

tan 40° = 150 / x

x = 150 / tan 40°

x ≈ 179 feet

But this includes the 40 ft long body of water, so the amount of ground covered is:

179 ft - 40 ft = 139 ft

What is 380 when it is increased by 18%
Yuri [45]
18%=0.18
380×0.18=68.4 increase
380+68.4=448.4

the easier way is to think 1 times any number is the same number so 380(1+0.18)=448.4 (just like adding tax to the price of something to see how much you'll actually pay)
