Current law requires that wheelchair ramps have a height to length ratio of 1:12. An old ramp has a height to length ratio of 2:

15. It's height is 12 inches. Workers will replace this ramp with a new one that has the same height. How much longer must the new ramp be to meet the ramp ratio required by law? Please Help!!!

Answer:

The new ramp must be 54 inches long than the old ramp to meet the requirement of the new law

Step-by-step explanation:

Old height to length ratio is:

h : l =  2 : 15.

Height of old ramp h = 12

Length of old ramp can be find out by putting h  = 12 in the above ratio

\frac{h}{l}  = \frac{2}{15}\\\\h = 12\\\\\frac{12}{l} = \frac{2}{15}\\\\l = 90

Length of old ramp = 90

Height to length ratio by current law:

h : l = 1 : 12

Height will be the same i.e. h = 12

\frac{h}{l}  = \frac{1}{12}\\\\h = 12\\\\\frac{12}{l} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\l = 144

Length of new ramp = 144

How much longer the new ramp should be to meet the new ratio law:

New length - Old length = 144 - 90 = 54 inches

Solve this linear system 28x + 44y = 964.40 21x + 33y = 723.30
Sladkaya [172]

28x + 44y = 964.40

21x + 33y = 723.30

Let's multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by -4

84x + 176y = 3857.6

-84x - 132y = -2893.2

Add the equations together.

0 + 44y = 964.4

Simplify

44y = 964.4

Divide both sides by 44

y = 964.4/44

Since we have the value of y, let's plug 964.4/44 into y for the first equation.

28x + 44(964.4/44) = 964.40

Simplify the left side

28x + 964.4 = 964.4

Subtract 964.4 from both sides

28x = 0

Divide both sides by 0

x = 0

In conclusion,

y = 964.4/44

x = 0

PMO and LMN are vertical angles. The measure of PMO is (X + 7). The measure of LMN is 55
Reika [66]

Answer:

x= 48 and PMO= 55

Step-by-step explanation:

  PMO= LMO so 55= x+7

 x+7=55

    -7     -7

x=48    

     Pmo = x+7 so (48)+7 = 55

A right pyramid with a regular hexagon base has a height of 3 units If a side of the hexagon is 6 units long, then the apothem i
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Part a) The slant height is 3\sqrt{2}\ units

Part b) The lateral area is equal to 54\sqrt{2}\ units^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of a right pyramid with a regular hexagon base is equal to the area of its six triangular faces

so

LA=6[\frac{1}{2}(b)(l)]

where

b is the length side of the hexagon

l is the slant height of the pyramid

Part a) Find the slant height l

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

l^{2}=h^{2} +a^{2}

where

h is the height of the pyramid

a is the apothem

we have

h=3\ units

a=3\ units

substitute

l^{2}=3^{2} +3^{2}

l^{2}=18

l=3\sqrt{2}\ units

Part b) Find the lateral area

LA=6[\frac{1}{2}(b)(l)]

we have

b=6\ units

l=3\sqrt{2}\ units

substitute the values

LA=6[\frac{1}{2}(6)(3\sqrt{2})]=54\sqrt{2}\ units^{2}
