Tan(A) = opposite / adjacent
if we call opposite "a" and adjacent "b"
tan(A) = a/b
then...
tan(B) = b/a
because it's on the other angle so "b" is now opposite angle B and "a" is adjacent.
So really you just need to take the reciprocal of the given values.
6. tan(A) = 1.25
reciprocal is flipping the value and using it to divide by 1.
you can keep as decimal , 1/1.25 = 0.8
or change to fraction
1.25 = 5/4
tan(B) = 4/5 or 0.8
7. tan(B) = 0.5
1/0.5 = 2
tan(A) = 2
8. tan(B) = 1
tan(A) = 1
Answer: 3.33miles
Step-by-step explanation:
given data:
distance covered in first 15 minutes = 10 miles
time spent buying gas and some snacks = 10mins.
= 10/15 * (15 –10 )
= 3.33miles
jacob has traveled 3.3miles between 10 and 15 minutes.
