2a

tan37=r/8

r=8tan37

r≈6 in rise per step (to nearest whole inch)

2b

11*12/6=22 steps needed to climb the 11 ft to the entrance

...

3a

tanα=14/20

α=arctan(7/10)

α≈35° (to nearest whole degree)

..

3b

tanα=21/17

α=arctan(21/17)

α≈51° (to nearest degree)

Rita will rent a car for the weekend. She can choose one of two plans. The first plan has no initial fee but costs $0.90 per mil
Artemon [7]

Let M = #miles driven

 

Plan 1:   .50M + 70  = total cost

Plan 2    .70M = total cost

 

To know how far she would drive to have an equal cost for either plan just set the equations equal to each other

 

.70M = .50M + 70

 

subtract .50M from both sides

 

.20M = 70

 

M = 70/.20 = 350 miles

 

Check the answser:

 

Plan 1:  .50(350) + 70 = 175 + 70 = $245

Plan 2:  .7(350) = $245

they are equal so our answer checks as correct
