The answer is c. 1/9.
If x = -2, y = -1, z = 3
then, (-2(-1) -(-1)^2) / 3(3)
(2 - 1)/3(3)
1/9
Yards=x
ft=3x
48=3x
x=16
the length if the water slide in yards is 3. 3 yards
Since it forms a "right triangle" we can apply trigonometry.
sin x = oppo/hyp
sin x = 13/20
x = sin^-1(13/20)
x = sin^-1(0.65)
x = 40.5
rounded to nearest degree
x = 41 degrees
Hope this helps! :)
