Tan (10 degrees) = 1983 / distance
distance = 1983 / tan (10 degrees)
distance = 1983 / 0.17633

A right triangle has one angle that measures 55°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

35 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find an angle in a triangle we need to know the other two angles, because the angles in a triangle all add up to 180 degrees. So, knowing two will get us the other one. In this case, we know two angles. One of them is 55, and the other, since it is a right triangle, is 90. So the two angles we know are 55 and 90. Using that all angles in a triangle add up to 180, we can use

55 + 90 + x = 180

145 + x = 180

x = 35

What is the average rate of change in f(x) over the interval [4,13]?
mestny [16]

we know that

Average Rate of Change. is the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value for two distinct points on the graph

So

A=\frac{(f(b)-f(a))}{(b-a)}

in this problem

a=4\\ b=13\\ f(a)=f(4)=8\\ f(b)=f(13)=11

substitute the values in the formula above

A=\frac{(11-8)}{(13-4)} \\ \\ A=\frac{3}{9}

Divide by 3 both numerator and denominator

A=\frac{1}{3}

therefore

the answer is

\frac{1}{3}
