The answer should be $31.80.
Hope this helped!!!:)
Answer:
13.7
Step-by-step explanation:
It forms a triangle.
They are trying to find the height, cause they say the east-bound car went east so that makes the bottom of the triangle, the width. They also give is the distance in between both cars so that's the hypotenuse so let's set up the equation...
15² - 6² = 189
now we square root it
√189 = 13.7
A triangle with lengths 5, 12, and 13 is a Pythagorean triple
The approximate acute angles are 22.6° and 67.4°
Pythagorean triple
Pythagorean triple consist of positive number(a, b, c) such that it obeys the rule:
A triangle whose sides form a Pythagorean triple is called a right angle triangle.
The longest side is the hypotenuse side.
Therefore,
- 5² + 12²
- 25 + 144 = 169
- √169 = 13
Therefore,
5² + 12² = 13²
This means the triangle is a Pythagorean triple.
<h3>Acute angles</h3>
Acute angles are angles that are less than 90 degrees. This means the other two angles are acute angle.
Therefore, let's find them
- tan ∅ = opposite / adjacent = tan ∅ = 5 / 12 = ∅ = 22.6198649155 = 22.6°
- 180 - 22.6 - 90 = 67.4°
