1) A straight road is going slightly uphill. The road is 10,000 ft. long.
The road rises a total of 650 ft. a) Draw a picture representing the situation using a right triangle. Label the road length and the rise
of the road. Call the unknown horizontal distance x. Call the angle of elevation θ .
b) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the horizontal distance. Give your answer in feet rounded to 2 decimal places.
c) Find the angle of elevation. Use degrees and round to 2 decimal places.
d) If a car goes up the entire hill in 6 minutes, what is the speed of the car in miles per hour? (there are 5280 ft. in 1 mile) (round to 2 decimal places)
The following are GREAT problems to do when studying for your final exam. We will have some time in class for you to work on them, but you should also spend some time on your own to be sure you understand each one. If you need more practice, try redoing your ICEs and old tests and quizzes.
