a. Now visualize what would happen to the triangle if the slope angle increased to 55°. Which would be longer, Δy or Δx? Explain your reasoning.
3
HINT: Drag the GREEN point to increase the angle.
4
b. Create a triangle with a slope angle measuring 55°and Δy = 8. Then use the resulting slope ratio to solve for x.
5
HINT: Drag the GREEN point to create the triangle in part (b). Use the grid to approximate an answer. Use the slope formula to solve for x.
