Applying the tangent ratio, the distance across the suspension bridge is: 499.2 ft.

<h3>What is the Tangent Ratio?</h3>

Where we are given a right triangle, the tangent ratio is determined using the formula, tan ∅ = opposite side/adjacent side.

The diagram atatched beow whos the distance across the suspension bridge which consists of 6 identical right triangles.

Find the adjacent side of each right triangle using the tangent ratio:

∅ = 32

Opposite side = 52 ft

Adjacent side = x

Plug in the values into the tangent ratio:

tan 32 = 52/x

x = 52/tan 32

x = 83.2 ft.

Distance across the suspension bridge = 6(83.2) = 499.2 ft.

Therefore, applying the tangent ratio, the distance across the suspension bridge is: 499.2 ft.

Andrew is hiking in a mountainous area of a state park. Use the given key features to sketch a graph.
Molodets [167]

Using the features, a piece-wise function is defined, and the graph is sketched at the end of this answer.

A piece-wise function is a function that has <u>multiple definitions</u>, depending on the value of the input.

He starts at 0 feet, and reaches a maximum elevation of 800 feet in 30 minutes, with a steady(linear) increase thus, for the first 30 minutes, the definition is:

h(t) = \frac{800}{30}t, 0 \leq t < 30

For the next 5 minutes, he stops to rest, at the maximum elevation of 800 feet, thus, the definition is:

h(t) = 800, 30 \leq t < 35

For the final 20 minutes, he descends 800 meters, at a linear rate, thus:

h(t) = 800 -\frac{800(t-35)}{20} = 800 - 40(t - 35), 35 \leq t \leq 55

Using these definitions, the graph is sketched at the end of this answer.

The band club needs $1328 for decorations for this year’s concert. So far, they have $43. Find the minimum amount each of the 30
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$42.83

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Subtract the amount they have by the amount they need.

1328-43= $1,285.

2: Divide amount they need ($1,285) by the total staff members (30).                Hence the equation is 1285 ÷ 30

3: Whatever answer you get from that equation is the answer

1285 ÷ 30 = $42.83

When you divide, you are setting the amount each staff member needs to donate by seeing how much money 30 people can give (equally) that adds up to 1285.

Hope this helps :)
