A skate board ramp is built on an incline so that it rests on a porch that is 1.3m high. The bottom of the ramp is placed 2.5m f

rom the porch. What is the angle that the ramp forms with the ground?

Answer:

θ = 27.47°

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be represented as a right-angled triangle, as shown in the diagram below.

To find θ, we apply the tangent part of the trigonometric ratios SOHCAHTOA:

tanθ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

In the diagram, opposite = 1.3 m and adjacent = 2.5 m

Hence:

tanθ = $\frac{1.3}{2.5}$

tanθ = 0.52

θ = $tan^{-1} 0.52$

θ = 27.47°

The ramp forms 27.47° with the ground.

Match the identities to their values taking these conditions into consideration sinx=sqrt2 /2 cosy=-1/2 angle x is in the first

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$\cos(x+y)$ goes with $-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$\sin(x+y)$ goes with $\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$\tan(x+y)$ goes with $\sqrt{3}-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(x+y)$

$\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ by the addition identity for cosine.

We are given:

$\sin(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ which if we look at the unit circle we should see

$\cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

We are also given:

$\cos(y)=\frac{-1}{2}$ which if we look the unit circle we should see

$\sin(y)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ .

Apply both of these given to:

$\cos(x+y)$

$\cos(x)\cos(y)-\sin(x)\sin(y)$ by the addition identity for cosine.

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}}{4}-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Apply both of the givens to:

$\sin(x+y)$

$\sin(x)\cos(y)+\sin(y)\cos(x)$ by addition identity for sine.

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\frac{-1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{-\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{6}}{4}$

$\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4}$

Now I'm going to apply what 2 things we got previously to:

$\tan(x+y)$

$\frac{\sin(x+y)}{\cos(x+y)}$ by quotient identity for tangent

$\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{-(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})}$

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}$

Multiply top and bottom by bottom's conjugate.

When you multiply conjugates you just have to multiply first and last.

That is if you have something like (a-b)(a+b) then this is equal to a^2-b^2.

$-\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}$

$-\frac{6-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}\sqrt{6}+2}{6-2}$

$-\frac{8-2\sqrt{12}}{4}$

There is a perfect square in 12, 4.

$-\frac{8-2\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$-\frac{8-2(2)\sqrt{3}}{4}$

$-\frac{8-4\sqrt{3}}{4}$

Divide top and bottom by 4 to reduce fraction:

$-\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{1}$

$-(2-\sqrt{3})$

Distribute:

$\sqrt{3}-2$

Sasha is making some shelves which are 75.5 cm long. If the wood she is using is 180 cm long, how many pieces will she need to m

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shelves are 75.5cm long, the total length she would be needing is 75.5cm × 6 = 453cm

Now, the length of the wood she is using is 180cm, to get enough length to make the shelves, we would need to divide 453cm by 180cm which gives a value of around 2.51

This is approximately equal to 3 when rounded up to the nearest whole number.
