Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram is attached.
Looking at the diagram, we want the side "opposite" of the angle given and the side "adjacent" is given.
Which ratio relates opposite and adjacent? It is Tan.
We can use trigonometry and tan ratio to solve for the distance "x":
D is the correct answer.
Answer:
90 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for graph.
First, we need to determine the slope.
When y = 900, x = 0
When y = 600, x = 30
The slope is then calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (600 - 900)/(30 - 0)
m = -300/30
m = -10
Next, we determine the equation of the line using
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
So, we have:
y - 900 = -10(x - 0)
y - 900 = -10x
y = 900 - 10x
When the container is empty, y = 0.
So, we have:
0 = 900 - 10x

10x = 900
Solve for x
x = 900/10
x = 90
