Your surface area is: S=x^2+4xh=84 square inches and h=2 inches; so you get:
x^2+(4×2)x=84
x^2+8x-84=0 qhich is a quadratic equation. Using the quadratic formula you get two results for x:
x1=-14 and x2=6
choose the second (positive)

Which answer is an equation in point - slope form for given point and slope point:(7,4) slope:6
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

y - 4 = 6(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a,b) a point on the line

here m = 6 and (a, b) = (7, 4), hence

y - 4 = 6(x - 7) ← in point-slope form

Nate and his friends are building a skateboard ramp for an upcoming contest. The length of the ramp on the blueprint is 7.6 inch
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

30.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the length of the ramp on the blueprint is 7.6 inches.  The scale on the blueprint is 1 inch to 4 feet. We are asked to find the actual length of the ramp.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:

\frac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale length}}=\frac{4\text{ ft}}{1\text{ inch}}

Now, we will substitute the scale length of ramp in our proportion as:

\frac{\text{Actual length}}{7.6 \text{ Inches}}=\frac{4\text{ ft}}{1\text{ inch}}

\frac{\text{Actual length}}{7.6 \text{ Inches}}\cdot 7.6 \text{ Inches}=\frac{4\text{ ft}}{1\text{ inch}}\cdot 7.6 \text{ Inches}

\text{Actual length}=4\text{ ft}\cdot 7.6

\text{Actual length}=30.4\text{ ft}

Therefore, the actual length of the ramp would be 30.4 feet.
