Answer: First portion is greater than second portion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to hiked down a trail = 10 minutes

Change in elevation = (-) 170 feet

Speed is given by

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{170}{10}\\\\Speed=17\text{ feet per minute}

Similarly,

Time taken to hiked down a trail = 20 minutes

Change in elevation = (-)220 feet

Speed is given by

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Speed=\frac{220}{20}\\\\Speed=11\text{ feet per minutes}

So, we can see that first portion of the hike where he hiked down a trail at a steady rate for 10 minutes and her change in elevation was (-) 170 feet, was her rate of change in elevation greater.

<u>As 17 feet per minutes is greater than 11 feet per minutes.</u>

What is the value of b?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the law of cosines in ΔABC

b² = a² + c² - (2ac cosB) ← substitute in values

   = 25² + 28² - (2 × 25 × 28 × cos36.9°)

   = 625 + 784 - 1400 cos36.9°

   = 1409 - 1400 cos36.9° ( Take the square root of both sides )

b = \sqrt{1409-1400cos36.9} ≈ 17 ( nearest whole number )
