Question

question 1 of 10
you perform an experiment to test how far a cannon will shoot a performer at different angles. the data are shown below.

angle	distance (feet)
36°	120
40°	128
44°	133
48°	127
52°	119
56°	109
60°	100
64°	91
68°	77
72°	63

at which angle will the performer travel the shortest distance?
a. 32°
b. 72°
c. 60°
d. 44°

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the task

We need to find the minimum value in the distance - column.

Step2: Compare the values

By looking at the distance values: 110, 120, 128, 133, 127, 119, 109, 100, 91, 77, 63.
We can see that 63 is the smallest value.

Step3: Find the corresponding angle

The angle corresponding to a distance of 63 feet is 72°.

Answer:

B. 72°
