Aroad goes down a slope. for every 12 km measured along the ground, the road drops 500 m in elevation. a) what is the angle of slope on the road?
b) what is the map distance along the road for every 12 km actually traveled? (measured in km)
c) what is the map distance along the road for every 1 mile actually traveled? (measured in miles)

Answer from: ayoismeisalex

a) 2.24°

b) 11.99 km

c) 0.9992 miles

Explanation:

We can think of the road as a triangle with a 12 km hypotenuse and a 0.5 km side. Then:

l = 12

h = 0.5

and

sin(a) = h / l

a = arcsin(h / l)

a = arcsin(0.5 / 12)

a = 2.24°

That is the slope.

The map distance travelled would be the other side of the triange.

cos(a) = d / l

d = l* cos(a)

d = 12 * cos(2.24) = 11.99 km

And for miles

d = 1 mile * cos(2.24) = 0.9992 miles

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
