Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a right triangle trig problem. Picture a right triangle. The height of the triangle is the height of the lighthouse, your distance from the base of the lighthouse is what we are solving for, and the reference angle is 2 degrees, which is the angle of inclination from where you stand to the top of this lighthouse. We have the reference angle, the side opposite the reference angle, and we are looking for the side adjacent to the reference angle. This is the tangent ratio: the side opposite the reference angle over the side adjacent to the reference angle. We know the measure of the reference angle and we know the value of the side opposite the reference angle. Filling in:
and
so
x = 5727.25 feet, the third choice down
176 minutes,
70x5,280= 369,600 divide by 35= 10,560 divide by 60=176
The slope of the line parallel to the line –x + 3y = 6 is a 1/3 option (A) 1/3 is correct.
<h3>What is the slope?</h3>
The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).
It is given that:
The equation of the line:
–x + 3y = 6
Write the equation in standard form:
y = x/3 + 6/3
y = x/3 + 2
m = 1/3
The slope of the line parallel to the line –x + 3y = 6
M = 1/3
Thus, the slope of the line parallel to the line –x + 3y = 6 is a 1/3 option (A) 1/3 is correct.
