The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x

85.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The extreme water slide forms a 20 angle with the tower it leans against 80 feet above the ground find the length of the slide x

We solve using the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos y = adjacent/hypotenuse

y = angle = 20°

Adjacent = 80 ft

Hypotenuse = ?

cos 20 = 80/Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 80/cos 20

x = 85.134221798 ft

Approximately = 85.1 ft

Length of the slide = 85.1 ft

answer: slight chance that it will happen

step-by-step explanation:

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
