This means their angles add up to 180° which is a straight line
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 1/8 = 0.125
Step-by-step explanation: Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
8x = 1
Divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 1/8 = 0.125
Answer:
(a) 169.1 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram shows you the distance (x) will be shorter than 170 m, but almost that length. The only reasonable answer choice is ...
169.1 m
__
The relevant trig relation is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
The leg of the right triangle adjacent to the marked angle is x, and the hypotenuse is 170 m. Putting these values into the equation, you have ...
cos(6°) = x/(170 m)
x = (170 m)cos(6°) ≈ (170 m)(0.994522) ≈ 169.069 m
The horizontal distance covered is about 169.1 meters.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Expressed as a percentage, the slope of this hill is tan(6°) ≈ 10.5%. It would be considered to be a pretty steep hill for driving.
