So you can use tan here, which is opposite/adjacent. (We're looking for the Adjacent)
Since we know Trail E is 1700, we're looking for the patch of trail A that is the adjacent. So if we put 42 into a tan calculator we get about 0.9.
So that means that 1,700 / adjacent = 0.9.
So we can also say
1,700/0.9 = adjacent
or, 1,700/0.9 = 1888.89
Now, we have the little patch of trail A in the smaller right triangle. We want to find the patch of trail A in the larger right triangle.
So just do 5,000 - 1,888.89
You get 3111.11
So if we know that's that, and we're looking for the hypotenuse, or Trail B, we can use cosine, because that's adjacent / hypotenuse.
So 42 in a cosine calculator is 0.74 ish.
So 3111.11 / hypotenuse = 0.74
Or 3111.11 / 0.74 = hypotenuse
Or 3111.11 / 0.74 = 4204
So Trail C should be 4204 feet long.
Answer:
(0,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-y = 3
x+2y = -6
Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y
2(2x-y =3)
4x -2y = 6
Add this to the second equation
4x -2y = 6
x+2y = -6
-----------------
5x +0y = 0
x = 0
Now find t
x+2y = -6
0+2y = -6
2y =-6
Divide by 2
y = -3
Answer:
The independent variable (x) represents the members to go paintballing.
The dependent variable (y) represents the total cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y is always dependent on the x. The number of people attending affects the total cost of the trip. The more people attend, the more it costs.
