Answer:

  -167.2 ft/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The "rise" is 1298 -1776 = -478 ft. The run is given as 15,098 ft, so the slope is ...

  slope = rise/run = -478/15098 ≈ -0.0316598

For 5280 feet in 1 mile, that rate of change amounts to ...

  -0.0316598×5280 ft ≈ -167.2 ft . . . per mile

Given that sinθ=8/17 , what is cosθ ? Enter your answer, as a simplified fraction, in the boxes.
leonid [27]

Cosθ = 15/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Sinθ = 8/17

We know that,

Sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ =1

64/289 + cos^2 θ =1

1 - 64/289 = cos^2 θ

225/289 = cos^2 θ

Cos θ = √225/289

Cos θ = 15/17

Find the approximate area of the circle below. (Use 3 for \pi)
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

75 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

recall that the formula for area of a circle is given by

Area = π r²

where

π = given to be 3

r = radius given as 5 in

simply substituting the values into the equation:

Area = π r²

= 3 x 5²

= 3 x 25

= 75 in²
