Since we need an angle measure we have to use an inverse trig ratio, sin^-1, cos^-1, or tan^-1.
Setting up the right triangle we have the opposite and adjacent so we use tan.
tan angle = 28/32
tan^-1 (28/32) = 41 degrees

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Teresa drive <u>90 miles</u> on Tuesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Teresa drove on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

On monday her driving distance was 120 miles.

The ratio of Wednesdays distance is 3/5.

The ratio of Wednesdays distance to Tuesday's distance is 5/4.

Now, to find the miles Teresa drive on Tuesday:

Teresa driving distance on Monday was = 120 miles.

Her driving distance on Wednesday is = \frac{3}{5}\ of\ 120.

=\frac{3}{5} \times 120\\\\=0.6\times 120\\\\=72\ miles.

Now, her driving distance on Tuesday is:

\frac{5}{4} \ of\ 72\\\\=\frac{5}{4} \times 72\\\\=1.25\times 72\\\\=90\ miles.

Therefore, Teresa drive 90 miles on Tuesday.

The ratio of the base edges of two similar pyramids is 3:4. The volume of the larger pyramid is 320 in3. What is the volume of t
Andre45 [30]
Use similar volume to calculate
which is the (ratio of edges)^3 = (ration of volume)
so just put the numbers in, let the volume of smaller pyramid be y.
(3/4)^3 = y/320
27/64 = y/320
y=135in3
