Answer:

  10.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle is the ratio of rise to run.

  tan(angle) = grade

  tan(6°) ≈ 0.105 = 10.5%

The grade will be 10.5% for an angle of elevation of 6°.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

4.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC).  Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.

c² = a² + b²

(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²

h ≈ 4.4 m

It is m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1990, each year has (100-3) = 97% ( or 0.97) of visitors that it had the previous year.

So m(x) = 20,000(0.97)^x   (answer).
