Answer:
The Jacobys drove 19 1/2 hours from Monday to Thursday.
Hello!
Find the coordinate where x = -1:
At x = -1, y = 1, so the coordinate is (-1, 1).
Find the coordinate where x = 2:
At x = 2, y = -2, so the coordinate is (2, -2).
Find the rate of change between the points using the slope formula:
Plug in the coordinates above:
Simplify:
Thus, the rate of change between the points is -1.
ΔAOB is a right angled triangle. Therefore the Pythagorean Theorem applies in this situation.
θ is the angle from a standard position of the line OA
The length of the y component is √(1-0)2 +(-3-(-3))2] =√(12+ 02) = 1 A(-3,1) to B(-3,0) which is opposite
Then the length of the x-component is √[(-3-0)2 +(0-0)2] = √(9+0)= 3 B(-3,0) to O(0,0) which is adjacent
The length of vector OA is √[(-3-0)2 + (1-0)2] = √(9+1) = √(10) A(-3,1) to O(0,0) which is the hypotenuse of the triangle
θ = 180 - α
sinθ = sin(180-α) = opposite/hypotenuse = 1/√10
cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse = -3/√10
tanθ = opposite/adjacent = 1/-3 = -1/3
α= arcsin(1/√10) ≈ 18
θ =180 -18 ≈162
If the ratio is 7 to 1, the width of the wing must be 1/7 of the length. So, we just divide 26.7 by 7 to get 3.81 meters.
