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
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.
