Question

victor drives 300 meters up a hill that make an angle of 13 with the horizonatal . to the nearest tenth of a meter what horizonatal distance has he covered

Answer 1

If you make a fairly accurate sketch of this situation, you will have a right triangle with hypotenuse 300 m, and an acute angle of 13 degrees whose other side is a horizontal leg of the right triangle. The answer cannot be A because the leg cannot exceed the hypotenuse. The other leg (vertical) will be smallish because it's opposite the small angle, 13o.

So - 292.3 meters.
