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

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2+14x+17=-96
goblinko [34]
2x^{2}+14x+17=-96 \newline
2x^{2}+14x+113=0 \newline
\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = 14^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 113 = -708.

Since \Delta is negative \Rightarrow x \notin \mathbb{R}.

What is the length of the missing leg
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we know that a^2+ b^2=c^2

In our case, we know b, which is 5 and c which is 13.

If we plug that into the equation, we get a^2+ 5^2 = 13^2

Next, we simplify the equation. a^2 + 25 = 169

Then we subtract 25 from 169. 169 - 25 = 144.

Lastly, we do the square root of 144 and we get 12 which is the missing side.

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?
mixer [17]

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.

Amount Financed: $2,650
Finance Charge: $484.69
Number of Payments: 36

(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=($484.69)/($2,650)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=(0.1829)*100$
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29

In the row of number of Payments 36, we look for:
(Finance Charge)/(Amount Financed)*100$=$18.29, and we see to which annual porcentage rate it corresponds in the first row

Answer: 11.25%
