The distance covered by the hiker if he traveled a horizontal distance of 120 ft at and angle of 6° will be given by:
cos θ=adjacent/hypotenuse
let the hypotenuse be h, adjacent =120 ft, θ=6°, thus plugging in the values we shall have:
cos 6=120/h
h=120/cos 6
h=120.661 ft
Answer: 120.661 ft

Two angles are complementary. One angle is ten less than four times the other angle. Find the measure of the larger angle
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

B.70

Step-by-step explanation:

For one or two angles are complementary angle(s), they have to equal 90°.

So, we need to find the larger angle, but what about the other?

Let x be the other angle and y be the angle we are looking for

x + y = 90

Lets look for x first, since one angle is ten less than four times the angle we are looking for or visa versa, we must:

y = 4x - 10

For an exchange, lets take out the y variable for another x variable:

So now we should have x + 4x - 10 = 90

Combine like terms and do cross equation :

x + 4x -10 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

Add 10 to both sides:

5x = 100

100/5 = 20

So <u><em>x=20</em></u>

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

Now for y which is what we are looking for,

y = 4x - 10

Since x is 20, plug it in

y = 80 - 10

y=70 is our larger angle
