A skate ramp is 4.2 meters long. It rises up 1.7 meters. What’s is the angle of elevation to the nearest tenth of a degree?

1 answer:

4 0

Θ
=
arcsin
(
.7
4.2
)
≈
10
∘
Explanation:
We view the ramp as a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 4.2 and the vertical side .7, which is opposite the angle
θ
we seek.
sin
θ
=
.7
4.2
=
1
6
I'm going to finish the problem but I'll note if we were actually building the ramp we don't need to know the angle; this sine is sufficient.
θ
=
arcsin
(
1
6
)
θ
≈
10
∘
which I think is a pretty steep ramp for a wheelchair.
There will be another inverse sine that is the supplementary angle, around
170
∘
, but we can rule that out as a value for a ramp wedge angle.

Using the chart "Amount of $1 at Compound Interest" from previous reading section "More Compound Interest", find the total amoun

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula used for any interest other then continuously is

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

so... r=rate in decimal form ONLY n=how often interest is paid t=time passed

A=3000(1+.08/1)^(1)(5) = annually

A=3000(1+.08/2)^(2)(5)

A=3000(1+.08/4)^(4)(5)

use you calculator to get the answer

it is good practice to use your calculator now because soon you will be using it for population questions and those need to be entered very carefully.

Answer this please it’s for algebra 2

Sergeu [11.5K]

Part a)

P(junior) = (number of juniors)/(number total)

P(junior) = 235/705

P(junior) = 1/3 exactly

P(junior) = 0.33333 approximately

======================================

Part b)

P(freshman and LG) = (number of freshman who have LG)/(number total)

P(freshman and LG) = 70/705

P(freshman and LG) = 14/141 exactly

P(freshman and LG) = 0.09929 approximately

======================================

Part c)

n(junior) = number of juniors = 235

n(samsung) = number of people who have samsung = 274

n(junior and samsung) = number of juniors who have samsung = 93

----

n(junior or samsung) = n(junior)+n(samsung)-n(junior and samsung)

n(junior or samsung) = 235+274-93

n(junior or samsung) = 416

----

P(junior or samsung) = n(junior or samsung)/n(total)

P(junior or samsung) = 416/705 exactly

P(junior or samsung) = 0.59007 approximately

======================================

Part d)

n(sophomore and apple) = number of sophomores who have apple

n(sophomore and apple) = 80

n(apple) = number of students who have apple

n(apple) = 261

P(sophomore | apple) = n(sophomore and apple)/n(apple)

P(sophomore | apple) = 80/261 exactly

P(sophomore | apple) = 0.30651 approximately

======================================

Part e)

define the events

A = junior who has apple

B = junior who has samsung

C = person is a junior

n(A or B) = number of juniors who have apple or samsung

n(A or B) = n(A) + n(B) ... A and B assumed mutually exclusive

n(A or B) = 87+93

n(A or B) = 180

n(C) = 235

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = n(A or B)/n(C)

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 180/235

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 36/47 exactly

P( (Apple or Samsung) | Junior ) = 0.76596 approximately

Reflect the triangle in the mirror line.

vredina [299]

Answer:

I can't include a picture but it will be the same shape except it will be flipped over and will look a bit like differently angled packman with the back of the mouth apart the same distance, with the mouth "pointier" part of it one line away from the red line from the other side.... Oof sorry if this didn't help, I tried my best...

Step-by-step explanation:

From the "point" of the blue triangle, go diagonally SE 2 spaces. From there, draw a straight line to the right for 3 spaces. From there, draw upwards two spaces, and then connect those two lines into a triangle.

uincy uses the quadratic formula to solve for the values of x in a quadratic equation. He finds the solution, in simplest radica

Verdich [7]

Answer: according to spark notes: There can be 0, 1, or 2 solutions to a quadratic equation, depending on whether the expression inside the square root sign, (b2 - 4ac), is positive, negative, or zero. This expression has a special name: the discriminant.

In this case it is 0, not 2, which was my first and wrong answer
