We are tasked to solved for the length of the ramp having an inclination of 15 degrees with the ground and 10 feet from the end of the ramp to the base of the building of the ground. Using trigonometric properties, we have a formula given an angle and the its opposite sides which is,
sin(Angle)=opposite/hypothenuse
hypothenuse would be the distance or the length of the ramp.
so we have,
sin(15)=10/hypothenuse
Cross-multiply, we have,
hypothenuse=10/sin(15)
using scientific calculator having a DEG mode,
hypothenuse=38.63703
Rounding of in nearest tenth we get,
hypothenuse=38.6 ft
Therefore, the ramp is 38.6 ft long

Answer:

y=1.75x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope-intercept form, we can use our initial value of 3, plus our 1.75 per mile, or x, since miles are calculated per hour

2x+y=3<br>x-y= 1<br><br>solve the equation ​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

x = 4/3

y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations! This is set up really well to make the second equation equal x then substitute.

x - y = 1

x = 1 + y

and then our substitution:

2 (1+y) + y = 3

and solve:

2 + 2y + y = 3

3y + 2 = 3

3y = 1

y = 1/3

And now we can substitute that value into one of our equations:

x - (1/3) = 1

x = 4/3

Next we should check by substituting these values into both of our equations:

2 (4/3) + (1/3) = 3

9 / 3 does equal 3 !

(4/3) - (1/3) does equal 1 !

Therefore, x = 4/3 , and y = 1/3

Allisa [31]

Answer: If you are looking for Slope-Intercept form (y=mx+b), It would be...

y=-5.4x+10840.4.

If you are looking for Point-Slope form, it would be...

y=-5.4x+10840.4.

Step-by-step explanation: Write in Slope-Intercept from, y=mx+b.

Point-Slope form : Use the Point-Slope formula, y-y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.

I hope this helps you out! ☺

A certain number was multiplied by 7. 4 was taken away from the product. Finally, that difference was then divided by 9, resulti
marin [14]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we have to work backwards. If you divide something by 9, and it equals 5, to figure out the number, we need to multiply by 9. 5*9= 45. If four was taken away, we have to add it to 45, which is 49. If a number *7 is 49, then we have to divide by 7 to get the answer. 49/7=7
