Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side.

If d is the distance between the earth and the sun, then:

tan x = y / d

Solving for d:

d = y / tan x

What is the Distance between (-4, -8) and (10, -8)??
katrin [286]

Answer:

The distance between both points would be 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y coordinate or -8 stays the same for both points on a coordinate grid. However the x coordinate changes from -4 to 10, which is 14 places away on a coordinate grid. Therefore the distance between these two points is 14.
