Answer:

11.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are given a right triangle with a given angle and side, you can use

trigonometric functions to calculate missing side lengths or inverse functions for angles based on this information.

These ratios can be remembered by the mnemonic:

SOH CAH TOA.

S O H → Sin (Sine) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

C A H → Cos (Cosine) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

T O A → Tan (Tangent) = Opposite / Adjacent

______________________________________

The Opposite side is the side directly across from the angle, The adjacent (next to) side is the side other than the hypotenuse or opposite side, and the hypotenuse is the longest side.

Given that we are trying to find the adjacent side, we must use the cos (cosine) function because that can be multiplied by the hypotenuse to give us the adjacent side we are looking for.

Therefore, 36 [Hypotenuse Side] × cos(72°) = Adjacent Side.

Because: 36 = Hypotenuse Side.

cos(72)° = Adjacent Side / Hypotenuse Side.

36 × cos(72°) =

36 × 0.309016994374... = 11.12461179749... ≈ 11.1

Rebecca and dan are biking in a national park for three days they rode 5 3/4 hours the first day and 6 4/5 hours the second day

Answer:

Rebecca and Dan need to ride $7\frac{9}{20}\ hrs.$ on the third day in order to achieve goal of biking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Goal of Total number of hours of biking in park =20 hours.

Number of hours rode on first day = $5\frac34 \ hrs.$

So we will convert mixed fraction into Improper fraction.

Now we can say that;

To Convert mixed fraction into Improper fraction multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator and then add that to the numerator,then write the result on top of the denominator.

$5\frac34 \ hrs.$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{23}{4}\ hrs$

Number of hours rode on first day = $\frac{23}{4}\ hrs$

Also Given:

Number of hours rode on second day = $6\frac45 \ hrs$

$6\frac45 \ hrs$ can be Rewritten as $\frac{34}{5}\ hrs.$

Number of hours rode on second day = $\frac{34}{5}\ hrs.$

We need to find Number of hours she need to ride on third day in order to achieve the goal.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day can be calculated by subtracting Number of hours rode on first day and Number of hours rode on second day from the Goal of Total number of hours of biking in park.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day = $20-\frac{23}{4}-\frac{34}{5}$

Now we will use LCM to make the denominators common we get;

Number of hours she need to ride on third day = $\frac{20\times20}{20}-\frac{23\times5}{4\times5}-\frac{34\times4}{5\times4}= \frac{400}{20}-\frac{115}{20}-\frac{136}{20}$
