I'm not sure of whether or not you're aware of this, but you asked this question in the math section. Nevertheless, I remember in 5th grade I did a project on whether or not it is possible to use solar energy to heat up different colored bags filled with water, and to determine which one would heat up the quickest. If that one doesn't pique your interest, you can go to sciencebuddies.com and search through a variety of project ideas if you'd like. That's where I found mine.
Answer:
1.6 inches per hour. you would divide 4.8 by 3 which is equal to 1.6.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>(a.)
Let's say α is the angle that subtends from the top of the screen to horizontal eye-level.
Let β be the angle that subtends from the bottom of the screen to horizontal eye-level.
tanα = (22 + 10 - 4) / x = 28/x
α = arctan(28/x)
tanβ = (10 - 4) / x = 6/x
β = arctan(6/x)
Ɵ = α - β
Ɵ = arctan(28/x) - arctan(6/x)
(b.)
tanƟ = tan(α - β) = (tanα - tanβ) / (1 + tanα tanβ)
tanƟ = (28/x - 6/x) / [1 + (28/x)(6/x)]
tanƟ = (22/x) / [1 + (168/x²)]
tanƟ = 22x / (x² + 168)
Ɵ = arctan[22x / (x² + 168)]</span>
The slope should be -1/2, because the line goes down 1 unit and then right 2 units.
Also it would be <u>y = -1/2x+1</u> in <u>y=mx+b</u>.
A line has an arrow on each end of the line. A segment has a dot or point on each end of the line.
