Viola drives 200 meters up a hill that makes an angle of 9 ° with the horizontal. To the nearest tenth of a meter, what horizontal distance has she covered? (1 point) Responses 31.3 meters 31.3 meters 197.5 meters 197.5 meters 200.4 meters 200.4 meters 150 meters

1 answer

To find the horizontal distance Viola has covered, we can use trigonometry to calculate the horizontal component of the 200-meter distance she drove up the hill.

The horizontal distance covered can be calculated using the formula:

Horizontal distance = 200m * cos(9°)

Horizontal distance = 200m * cos(9°)
Horizontal distance ≈ 197.5 meters

Therefore, the horizontal distance Viola has covered is approximately 197.5 meters.
