At 12pm, the temperature was 57o F. By 5pm, the thermometer read 36o F. Assuming a constant change in temperature, calculate and

interpret the unit rate of change (slope).

Answer:

Unit rate of change = -4.2°F/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a constant rate of change, a relationship between the change of temperature as a function of time (in hours) can be described as follows:

r= \frac{(36^oF - 57^o F)}{17 - 12}\\r= \frac{-4.2^o F}{hour}

There is a temperature drop from 12pm to 5pm, which explains the rate of change being negative. This rate means that at every hour that goes by, the temperature drops by 4.2 degrees.

In order to find the length of ?? (let's call this distance x), let's first find the value of Angle A. 

The cosin of Angle A is Adjacent / Hypotenuse, or 40 / 50. Using this Info:
cos (A) = 40/50
cos (A) = .8

With this crucial piece of info, we can find the Total length of A-D (Point D being the point above C), by finding its relation to side AC (length of 50 + 70 =120 ft)
Cos (A) = adjacent / hypotenuse
Cos (A) = AD / (120)                                 We know that cos (A) = .8
.8 = AD / (120)                                          Multiply both sides by 120
96 = AD

We're almost there! Remember that we're trying the find x (?? in the diagram).

x + 40 = 96 
x = 56 ft
