Solution:
we are given that
Nathan takes 42 minutes to thread a distance of 4.5 miles on a threadmill.
we have been asked to find the average distance covered in one minute.
Using the concept of unity we can write
Since Nathan takes 42 minutes to cover a distance of 4.5 miles.
So in 1 minute Nathan will cover a distance of
Hence avearge distance covered in one minute is 1.1 miles.
Answer:
Part 1)
Part 2)
Part 3) and
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem
step 1
Find the side b
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
The function sine of angle B is equal to divide the opposite side angle B (AC) by the hypotenuse (AB)
we have
substitute
solve for b
step 2
Find the side a
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
The function cosine of angle B is equal to divide the adjacent side angle B (BC) by the hypotenuse (AB)
we have
substitute
solve for a
step 3
Find the measure of angle A
we know that
In the right triangle ABC
----> is a right angle
∠A+∠B=90° ------> by complementary angles
substitute the given value
