Question

The folding chair can be set in different positions that change the angles formed by its parts. As angle 1 increases, how does the relationship change between the back of the chair and the front leg of the chair?

a. As the measure of <1 increases, the distance between the back of the chair and the front leg of the chair increases.
b. As the measure of <1 increases, the distance between the back of the chair and the front leg of the chair remains constant.
c. As the measure of <1 increases, the distance between the back of the chair and the front leg of the chair

Answer 3

As you increase <1 you are moving the back of the chair to a more reclined position.
(Think about one of those adjustable beach chairs.)

Looking at the attached diagram, the back of the chair CB pivots around point B swinging out the arc of a circle as it moves. All points on that arc are at the same distance from B.

So, the distance from the back of the chair,as the angle increases, to the front foot of the chair remains constant.
