victor drives 300 meters up a hill that makes an angle of 13 degrees with the horizontal. To the nearest tenth of a meter, what horizontal distance has he covered?
307.9 meters
292.3 meters
69.3 meters
67.5 meters
*****im thinking C, please help*****
Make a sketch of a right-angled triangle
the angle of elevation is 13°, the hypotenuse is 300, you want the
horizontal (the adjacent)
so clearly, the cosine comes to mind
cos13° = x/300
x = 300cos13
= 292.311 , which is B
