The post office is at the corner of first street and main street, which forms a right angle. first street intersects with oak street to the north, and main street intersects with oak street to the east. the intersection of main street and oak street forms a y° angle, and tan y° = five sevenths. car a drives on main street for 14 miles to arrive at oak street. how far will car b have to travel on first street to get to oak street?
5 miles
7.4 miles
10 miles
19.6 miles

  10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of the tangent tells you ...

  tan(y°) = (main to oak distance)/(first to oak distance)

Filling in the given information, we have ...

  5/7 = (main to oak distance)/(14 miles)

Multiplying by 14 miles, we find ...

  (5/7)(14 miles) = main to oak distance = 10 miles

im pretty sure it would be 5 am, hope that , and give brainliest and guys if this is right then press the button and give 5 stars
