This would look like 6x/11. Since the problem doesn’t state the answer then you would simply write the expression.
If you graph this, your first point will be at (0,5), as the ramp is at the warehouse door but 5 feet up. The second point is (10,0) as it is touching the ground but it's 10 feet away from the warehouse.
To find slope, you do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
When substituting in the variables, you get (0-5)/(10-0), which is -5/10, which is simplified to -1/2. Of course, that is when the warehouse is Quadrant II. If you look at it from another point of view, the slope will be positive so your answer is A) 1/2.
If this was unclear feel free to comment :)
Numerator = -3( - 8) = - 3 - 8 = -11
Denominator = 5 + 7 = 12
So the quotient = -11/12
Answer
- 11/12
Answer:
x= 2√37
Step-by-step explanation:
First thing you want to do is find the length of the missing side where the the right angle is at. You can find that with the pythagorean theorem of the other triangle, since you are already given 2 sides.
Pythagorean Theorem
a=2
b=?
c=2√2
Plug in and solve for b.
2^2+b^2=(2√2)^2
4+b^2=8
b^2=4
b=2
Now use the pythagorean theorem again to find your x side.
a=2
b=12
c=?
2^2+12^2=c^2
4+144=c^2
148=c^2
c=√148
c=2√37
