The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
Answer:
A.) 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Since DB =36, and AC is the same line, then AC = 36. The new equation is 36 = 3x - 3. Do inverse operation. Add 3 to both sides of the equation: 36+3=39 & -3+3=0. New equation is 39=3x. Finally divide. 39/3= 13.
Answer:
1/4, or 4 times smaller
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the surface area of a cube is just the combination of the area of all of the square sides, and the formula for those is s^2, if the side length was decreased by 1/2 then the surface area would decrease by (1/2)^2=1/4. Hope this helps!
