Answer:
Since the truck adds 22,000 PER YEAR, this would be the number we multiply by the variable depending on how many years they are calculating for. So we have y = 22,000x
The truck already has 40,000 miles on it so it s STARTING at 40,000, this is our y-intercept, or b.
Now we have y = 22,000x + 40,000
You gotta round the be to 100,000
Add the length width and height all together
Answer:
about 2949 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Filling in the known values, we have ...
tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)
<h3>solution</h3>
Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...
distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft
distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft
The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.
