Answer: a = 23 ft.

Reasoning:

The question asks for the value of the leg a, given the tangent of the opposite angle and the length of the adjacent-leg, b.

The ratio that relates the three parameters is:

tan(A) = opposite-leg / adjacent-leg = a / b = a / 23 ft

Solve for a, wich is the unknown:

a = 23ft * tan(A) = 23ft * 1.0 = 23 ft

Answer: 23 ft.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the graph hits 0 at x = 0, your y intercept is 0.

The graph is decreasing which means you have a negative slope.

They gave you a coordinate so use it to find the slope.

$\frac{1-0}{-3-0} = \frac{-1}{3}$

That's your slope.

C is the correct answer.
