The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
Answer:
y=
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of the slope, we would assume that it is 1/2 because when you use rise over run, the graph rises 1 unit up and shifts 2 units to the right. The -2 is where the y-intercept is (0, -2) based on the picture seen above. The slope is also positive where it is going up instead of going down.
All you need to do is 8 divided by 6. When you do so you get: 1.3 which could also be written as 1 3/8.
So each person gets 1 whole piece and 3/8 of another piece.
I would say A. I hope I am right. I dunno if it would be A. or C. But I think A would be the better pick.
