An ant walks up a ramp at an incline of 13 degrees. If after 2 minutes his vertical distance from the ground is 13 inches, how far has the ant traveled in the horizontal direction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

56.3 inches

Explanation:

Use tangent.

Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent

tan θ = y / x

tan 13° = 13 / x

x = 13 / tan 13°

x = 56.3
