Answer:

As per the given statement: A straight road rises at an inclination of 0.3 radian from horizontal.

⇒Inclination\theta = 0.3 \text{radian}.

The slope is given by:

m =\tan \theta

Substitute the given value we have;

m = \tan (0.3)

m = 0.30933624961

Let Δx represents the change in horizontal distance and  Δy represents the change in vertical distance.

Slope is also defined as the change in vertical distance to the change in horizontal distance.

i.,e  m = \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}                     .....[1]

It is given that change in elevation over a one mile section of the road

⇒Δx = 1

Substitute the  value of Δx = 1 and m = 0.30933624961  in [1] we have;

0.30933624961 = \frac{\triangle y}{1}

or

\triangle y = 0.30933624961 mile.

Therefor, the slope is, 0.30933624961 and change in elevation over a one mile section of the road is, 0.30933624961 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

\cos(300 \degree)  \\  \\  = \cos(360 \degree - 60\degree)  \\  \\  = \cos( 60\degree) \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \huge \orange{ \boxed{ \therefore \: \cos(300 \degree)  = \frac{1}{2}  }}

The ratio of green pepper plants to red pepper plants in Joe's garden is 2:7. If Joe has 20 more red pepper plants than green pe
Marta_Voda [28]
I found that Joe has 28 red pepper plants and 8 green pepper plants.

to find this, I first set up a proportion:
7/2 = (20+x)/x

then you cross multiply giving you:
7x = 40 + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x = 40

solve for x:
x = 8 (which is the amount of green pepper plants)

to find how many red pepper plants he has, plug in x for (20 + x) giving you 28 red pepper plants

Hope I helped :)
