I’m having a little issue with my Trigonometry homework. The model of this problem does not have a number for the hypotenuse. Th
us, I concluded that the formula needed to answer this isn’t either the adjacent over hypotenuse or opposite over hypotenuse. However, when I try the formula for tangent, the answer (rounded to the nearest tenth) is 64.9. This isn’t an answer given in this worksheet. The possible answers on said sheet are 23.4 or 25.1. If someone could maybe help me out with this, that would be very appreciated!
We simply have to divide the total miles that the car can travel by the total amount of gallons of gas. So, 42 miles/ (11/6 gallons) = 22.91 miles per gallon
Therefore, Sandy's car gets 22.91 miles per gallon of gas
