First let's reduce the feet to miles
there are 5280 feet in a mile therefore
26400 feet=5 miles
31680 feet=6 miles
Jet A(the first jet) descends 5 miles in 96 miles
Jet B(the second jet) descends 6 miles in 120 miles
We can compare these as fractions to see which is steeper. This can be viewed as slope and the origin (0,0) is the airport.
slope: 6/120=?=5/96
1/20=?=5/96
Now we know that 5/100 =1/20 so 5/96 must be bigger than 5/100 because you are dividing by a smaller number.
so 1/20<5/96
So Jet B is descending steeper than Jet A.
As for linear model, I don't exactly know what your teacher means but I think I actually used the linear model when I'm thinking of steepness as slope in the coordinate plane, I will include a picture.
In this extremely zoomed out graph, you can see the blue line is just slighly higher than the red line(slope as in explanation is way easier to tell) this could be seen as the linear model) :) Hope it helped!
There are several different equations that can be used to find missing sides, these can be trigonometric functions or the distance formula. The trigonometric functions consist of sine (opposite/hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse), and tangent (opposite/adjacent. The adjacent side is represented by the side next to the given angle measure, the opposite is the side that is connected to adjacent side and across from the given angle, and the hypotenuse is the diagonal that connects the opposite side to the given angle- most notable because its line isn't straight like the other sides.
The distance formula is used to find the measurement of missing side lengths in all quadrilaterals, and it's: D = sqrt(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 where x are the x-coordinates of two given points and y are the y-coordinates of the same two given points.
Answer: 28 gallons of paint needed to paint 16 classrooms.
Step-by-step explanation:
As 7 gallons Paint 4 classrooms so if we need to paint 16 classrooms which four times 4 classrooms so 7*4=28 gallons will be needed to paint 16 classrooms
Ok, so on the first day she finds one, the second she finds two, the third four, the fourth eight, the fifth sixteen, the sixth thirty two, and the seventh sixty four.
The answer is 64
