Here we have a 90 degrees triangle where we can use trigonometric functions. 

Here we can use tan(x) function because it requires legs of triangle that are given and inverse function of tan(x) will than give us asked angle 

tan(x) = 7.4/9.3 = 0.7956
x = arctan(0.7956) = 38.505 ≈ 39 degrees.

1. ) 1 thru 9 are both natural numbers and whole numbers. 0 is a whole number, but not a natural number.

2.) 6...it is a natural number because it is a counting number and it is whole, it is a whole number and it is an integer as well. It is also rational because it can be turned into a fraction 6/1.

3.) -2 is a rational number because it can be turned into a fraction -2/1, but it is not a whole number because it contains a negative.

4.) That number would be 0

| 9. The distance between Town A and Town B was 108 km. A car and a van left Town A at 12 00 for Town B. On reaching Town B, the
Westkost [7]

Answer:

a)  Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon.  That makes it 1:30PM.

b)  Average speed of car is 84 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

A -----------------------z------------B

          <u>Left</u>      <u>Speed(km/h)</u>      <u>Time</u>

Car:   12PM            X  

Van:   12PM           60

Car/Van

DistanceCar        AB + z

DistanceVan       Az

Ratio:                  (AB+z)/Az  = 7/5

Time until both meet = T (in hours)

Distance Car:            xT

Distance Van:           60T

====

  xT = AB + z

  60T = Az

---

(xT/60T)= (7/5)

x = 60(7/5)

x = 84 km/h

=====

Time for car to reach B is:    time (hr) = 108 km/(84 km/h)

                                                 time = 1.286 hours

Distance for at 1.289 hours is:    distance (km) = (60 km/h)*(1.286 h)

                                                   distance = 77.14 km

At 1.286 hours, the car reverses direction.  The van is (108 km - 77.14 km) or 30.86 km away.

Add the distances travelled by both vehicles after the car reverses direction at 1.286 hours.  The sum will be 30.86 km when they meet, at time of T.

Car Distance + Van Distance = 30.86 km

T(84 km/h) + t(60 km)

They meet when they are 0 km apart, which can be modeled with the following equation:

Van travel Distance - Car Travel Distance = 0 starting at 1.286 hr.

Let <u>t</u> be the time <u>after</u> 1.286 hours that both vehicles meet/collide.

t*(60 km/h)  +  t(84 km/h) = 30.86 km

t(60+84) = 30.86 km

t(144 km/h) = 30.86 km

t = 0.2143 hr

Total time until the car and van meet is 1.286 hr + 0.2143 hr for a total of 1.50 hours.

=================

a)  Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon.  That makes it 1:30PM.

b)  Average speed of car is 84 km/h

==============

<u>CHECK</u>

Is the ratio of the distance travelled by the car and the van until they meet in the ratio of 7/5?

Car distance is (1.5 hr)(84 km/h) = 126 km

Van distance is (1.5 hr)(60 km/h) = 90.0 km

Ratio is 126/90 or 1.4

Ratio of 7/5 is 1.4

<u><em>YES</em></u>
