A Road Is Inclined At An Angle Of 6 After Driving 5440 Feet Along This Road Find The Drivers Increase In Altitude Round To The Nearest Foot The Drivers Increas class=

Sagot :

Answer:  B)  569 feet

========================================================

Work Shown:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(6) = a/5440

5440*sin(6) = a

a = 5440*sin(6)

a = 568.634840176034

a = 569 feet, which shows why choice B is the answer.

This value is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. One way to check is to compute sin(30) and you should get 0.5

side note: 569 feet is roughly equal to 0.1078 miles.

The driver's increase in altitude is 569 feet.

Given that,

A road is inclined at an angle of 6°.

After driving 5,440 feet along this road,

We have to determine,

The driver's increase in altitude?

According to the question,

A road is inclined at an angle of 6°.

After driving 5,440 feet along this road,

The inclination is determined by using the sin angle.

Therefore,

The driver's increase in altitude is,

[tex]\rm Sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\[/tex]

Where Perpendicular = a, angle = 6 degree and hypotenuse = 5,440ft.

Substitute all the values in the formula,

[tex]\rm Sin \theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\rm Sin6 = \dfrac{a}{5440}\\\\\rm 0.104= \dfrac{Perpendicular}{5440}\\\\Perpendicular = 5440 \times 0.104\\\\Perpendicular = 569 \ feet[/tex]

Hence, The driver's increase in altitude is 569 feet.
