Consider the attached figure. If AB has length 1, then BC has length sin(15°) and CD (the altitude of triangle ABC) has length sin(15°)·cos(15°).
By the double angle formula for sin(α), ...
... sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)
Rearranging, this gives
... sin(α)·cos(α) = sin(2α)/2
We have
... CD = sin(15°)·cos(15°) = sin(2·15°)/2
... CD = sin(30°)/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4
That is, the altitude, CD, is 1/4 the hypotenuse, AB, of triangle ABC.
Answer:
Mr. Mole is descending by 2.4 meters per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the time in minutes
y ---> the distance in meters
we know that
In this problem the rate of change or slope is the same that the speed
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
take two points from the table
(5,-18) and (8,-25.2)
substitute the values in the formula
---> is negative because is descending
