So you can use tan here, which is opposite/adjacent. (We're looking for the Adjacent)
Since we know Trail E is 1700, we're looking for the patch of trail A that is the adjacent. So if we put 42 into a tan calculator we get about 0.9.
So that means that 1,700 / adjacent = 0.9.
So we can also say
1,700/0.9 = adjacent
or, 1,700/0.9 = 1888.89
Now, we have the little patch of trail A in the smaller right triangle. We want to find the patch of trail A in the larger right triangle.
So just do 5,000 - 1,888.89
You get 3111.11
So if we know that's that, and we're looking for the hypotenuse, or Trail B, we can use cosine, because that's adjacent / hypotenuse.
So 42 in a cosine calculator is 0.74 ish.
So 3111.11 / hypotenuse = 0.74
Or 3111.11 / 0.74 = hypotenuse
Or 3111.11 / 0.74 = 4204
So Trail C should be 4204 feet long.
Answer is Correct. She could have also subtracted 100 from both sides, then divided by .
It's either 8 cm or 1 m....i personally think 8 cm is more accurate but, 1 m is still an acceptable answer
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
i belive it is C because if you look at it your just multiplying by 4 hope this helps!!! :D
Answer:
1200
Step-by-step explanation:
The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...
... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.
Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...
... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.
_____
<em>Alternate solutions</em>
We have computed ...
... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200
Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:
... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000
... = 24000/20 = 1200
or
... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
