Solution:
use the trigonometric function which is tangent
tangent is equal to opposite/hypotenuse
the angle is 11 degrees
28 foot will be your opposite
your hypotenuse is the missing

tan(11 degrees)=28 foot/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse= [28 foot/ (tan 11 degrees)]
hypotenuse = 98.8 feet

Izzie recently took a math test where each correct answer (a) on the main part of the test was worth 8.3 points. She also correc
Temka [501]

Answer:

12 correct answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the main part she scores 8.3 points for each question she answers correctly, we can assume that the number of questions she answers correctly=a

Therefor, the total number of points she achieved in the math test in the main part alone can be expressed as:

Total score(main part)=8.3×a=8.3a points

She also solved a bonus question worth=11 points

Consider expression 1 below

The total score in the whole test=Total score in the main part+Bonus points, where;

Total score in the whole test=110.6 points

Total score in the main part=8.3a points

Bonus points=11 points

Substituting the values in expression 1:

8.3a+11=110.6

8.3a=110.6-11

8.3a/8.3=99.6/8.3

a=12

Number of correct answers in the main part=a=12

Troyanec [42]
Let x = total distance he covered
3x/4         by bus
1/2 . x/4  =  x/8  by jogging
the remaining distance  =  x/8               by walking
thus      x/8 = 800ft
           x =    8 . 800 = 6400ft
