Describe a real world scenario and which it would be important to apply trigonometric ratios or special right triangles.

I would say architecture would be a real life scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing out blueprints they would most likely use special right triangles, but I'm not sure about trig ratios.

168

step-by-step explanation:

first off, we know that he drove 3.5 hours at a rate of 48 mph.

knowing that, we want to see how many miles he drove all-together.

in this case, we can just multiply 48 by 3.5.

48 * 3.5 = 168
