Michelle jumps from a plane at an altitude of 1000 m. After 10 seconds her parachute opens. The graph shows the relationship bet
ween the distance traveled and time. How long does it take for her to be half way between the plane and the ground? (1 point)
Continuous graph with the y axis labeled Distance (m) and the x axis labeled Time, min. The function consists of 3 lines, the first is almost vertical with a positive slope connecting the points 0,0, to approximately 1 of 6, 250. From that point the second line connects to the first and passes through the points 1,500, 2,800 and 2 1 over 3, 1000. From that point the function is horizontal.
a
40 s
b
1 min
c
1 min 20 s
d
1 min 40 s

Answer: 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.
Replacing with the values given:
tan40 = 16/x
Solving for x
x =16/tan40
x= 19 ft
