Samuel is at the top of the tower and will ride down a zip line to a lower tower. The total vertical drop of the zip line is 40ft. The zip line's angle of elevation from the lower tower is 11.5° . To the nearest tenth, what is the horizontal distance between the towers?

196.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the right triangle formed by the zip-line.  Use SOH-CAH-TOA to write and solve an equation:

tan 11.5° = 40 / x

x = 40 / tan 11.5°

x = 196.6

answer: c

because if you look at the chart you can see a pattern and compare it to the question he simplify out your

but i think the formula is f(x)=6x

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
