Answer:
Option (A)
Step-by-step explanation:
It has been given in this question that sign telling path has a 2% grade.
2% grade means a rise of 2 meters for a horizontal change of 100 m (As given in the figure attached).
All the trigonometric ratios for the angle θ between the path and the horizontal are,
Sinθ = 
Cosθ = 
tanθ = 
Since measures of the opposite side and adjacent sides are given
Therefore, tangent ratio will be applied to get the measure of the angle,
tanθ = 
θ = 
Option (A) will be the answer.
Answer:
= 29.82 yards/second
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed is given in the problem. We just need to convert its units. The multiplicative identity (that is, 1) may be used to change the units without changing the value. (note: do you know what the additive identity is?)
61 miles per hour
(61 miles) / (1 hour)
(61 miles)/(1 hour)*1
((61 miles)/(1 hour))*((5280 feet)/(1 mile))
((61 miles)/(1 hour))*((5280 feet)/(1 mile))*((1 yard)/(3 feet))*((1 hour)/(60 minutes))*((1 minute)/(60 seconds))
note: miles, feet, hours, minutes cancel out; leaving yards per second
(61/1)*(5280/1)*(1/3)*(1/60)*(1/60) yards/second (note: I write that way to paste into Excel)
6 ! = 720
the definition of n ! ( n factorial ) is
n ! = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ..........× 3 × 2 × 1
6 ! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720
