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:
y = 4/9 x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form: y = mx = b
So 4x - 9y = -36
9y = 4x+ 36
y = 4/9 x + 4
The third one is correcte
Answer:
5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
given :
Distance between the cities = 540 miles
Speed of motorcycle =48 mph
TO CALCULATE THE TIME TAKEN BY MOTORCYCLE TO COVER THE TOTAL DISTANCE WE USE THE FORMULA :

By putting given values in the formula we get :

= 11.25 hours
Now, We are given that for a car to cover the same distance it takes 2.25 hours less than the time taken by motorcycle
⇒ 11.25 hours - 2.25 hours
⇒ 9 hours
Thus , Time taken by car to cover the same distance is 9 hours .
Now to calculate speed of car by using formula:


= 60 mph
Let t be the time taken to meet if they start moving towards each other.
So distance covered by motorcycle in t hours is
speed\times time
= 48t miles
Distance covered by car in t hours is
speed\times time
= 60t miles
⇒ 60t + 48t =540
⇒ 108t = 540
⇒ t= 5 hours
Therefore, time taken to meet if they start moving towards each other is 5 hours.
