Answer:
C) 14
Explanation:
Given the street geometry shown in the attachment with tan(x) = 7/5, you want to know the distance Car B drives on Main Street to get from the Post Office to Oak Street.
Tangent
The tangent ratio is given by ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
In this geometry, this means ...
tan(x) = BP/AP = 7/5
Car B
Then the distance Car B drives is ...
BP = AP·7/5 = 10(7/5) = 14
Car B has to travel (C) 14 miles to get to Oak Street.
