Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.
You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:
ft.
Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.
<u>Given</u>:
Given that an aquarium is being filled with water.
The given graph shows the height of the water over time as the aquarium is being filled.
We need to determine the slope of the graph.
<u>Slope</u>:
The slope of the given graph can be determined using the formula,
Since, the slope is same for all the points on the straight line, then let us consider the points (2,5) and (4,10)
Substituting these points in the above formula, we get;
Simplifying, we get;
Thus, the slope of the given graph is 2.5
