PLEASE HELP FOR 30 POINTS.GEOMETRY/TRIG The picture below shows a box sliding down a ramp:
What is the distance, in feet, that the box has to travel to move from point A to point C?
1. 10/cot 62 degrees
2. 10 cosec 62°
3. 10/sec 62 degrees
4 10 sin 62°

Do you need with the x value for the minimum? its always between the two intercepts for a parabola

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
