Given right triangle ABC, what is the value of tan(A)?

12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

tan is given by the opposite side divided by the adjacent side, so:

tan = 24/10 = 12/5

80 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the distance traveled by Miriam the first two hours

Remember that the distance is equal to the speed multiplied by the time

we have

so

9:00 AM +2 h=11:00 AM

At 11:00 am Miriam has travel 140 miles

step 2

Find out the speed

Remember that the speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

The time is equal to

6:00 PM-11:00 AM=7 h

the distance is equal to

700-140=560 miles

therefore
