The roller coaster is an illustration of a right triangle

  • The equation needed to solve the horizontal distance is h^2 =30^2 -25^2
  • The horizontal distance is 16.58 feet

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

The height is given as: 25 feet.

From the complete question, the length of the roller coaster is 30 feet.

Represent the horizontal distance with h.

Given that the roller coaster represents the hypotenuse side length, the following equation can be used to find h

30^2 = h^2 + 25^2

Collect like terms

h^2 =30^2 -25^2

<h3>The horizontal distance</h3>

In (a), we have:

h^2 =30^2 -25^2

This gives

h^2 =275

Take the roots of both sides

h =16.58

Hence, the horizontal distance is 16.58 feet

The sum of four<br>consecutive odd number is 8o. Find the number​
yarga [219]

Answer:

<em>The sum of 4 consecutive odd number is 80</em>

<em>Let X be the first of these numbers</em>

<em>Then the next odd number is X+2</em>

<em>The third is X+4The fourth is X+6</em>

<em>All of these add up to 80</em>

<em>(X) + (X+2) + (X+4) + (X+6) = 80</em>

<em>Using the commutative and associative laws, let's transform this equation into</em>

<em>(X + X + X + X) + (2 + 4 + 6) = 804X + 12 = 80</em>

<em>Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation gives4X = 68</em>

<em>Divide both sides by 4 gives</em>

<em>X = 17</em>

<em>Going back to the original question:What are the 4 consecutive odd numbers: 17, 19, 21, 23Checking our answer:17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 80 Correct!</em>

Find the exact value of tan 15 degrees
pentagon [3]
<span>tan(15) = 
sin(15) / cos(15) = 
sin(45 - 30) / cos(45 - 30) = 
[ sin(45)cos(30) - sin(30)cos(45) ] / [ cos(45)cos(30) + sin(45)sin(30)] 

Since sin(45) = cos(45) = √2/2, you can just factor that out from the top and bottom 
[ cos(30) - sin(30) ] / [ cos(30) + sin(30)] 
[ √3/2 - 1/2 ] / [ √3/2 + 1/2] 
(√3 - 1) / (√3 + 1) 
(√3 - 1)^2 / (√3+1)(√3 - 1) 
(√3 - 1)^2 / (3 - 1) 
(3 - 2√3 +1) / 2 
2 - √3 

There's also a formula for tan(a-b), but I couldn't remember it off hand.</span>

Answer:

Volume = 684 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, the equation for Volume = L*W*H

So, lets begin with the cube on the top, all of its sides are 6 inches in length, so do:

6*6*6 to get the volume of just it

216

Next. lets get the rectangular prism.

6*6*13

468

Last, combine these.

684 in^3
