The roof of a factory rises vertically 7 ft through a horizontal run of 42 ft. What is the pitch of the roof?

1 answer:

8 0

By definition, the pitch of a roof is its vertical rise divided (In this case is 7 feet) by its horizontal measurement, which is called "Run" (42 feet). Therefore, you can calculate the pitch of this roof (P) by applying the following steps:
P=Tan^-1(Rise/Run) Rise=7 feet
Run=42 feet

When you substitute these values into the formula P=Tan^-1(Rise/Run), you obtain:

P=Tan^-1(Rise/Run)
P=Tan^-1(7/42) P=9.46º

The answer is: The pitch of the roof is 9.46º.

How do you solve number 3?

Blababa [14]

∠MJK = 90 (It is a rectangle, so all its corners are right angles)

∠MJL = 90 - 27 = 63 (Complementary angles)

∠JLK = 180 - 90 = 27 = 63 (Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180)

∠KML = 27 (Isosceles triangle)

∠MNL = 180 - 27 - 27 - 126 (Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180)

ANSWER:

We have to find new side-lengths of PQR triangle.

Original sides are.

$\begin{gathered} PQ\text{ = 8cm} \\ QR=17\operatorname{cm} \\ RP=15\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}$

After multiplying by 2.5 we get

$\begin{gathered} PQ^{\prime}=2.5\times PQ=(8\times2.5)cm=20\operatorname{cm} \\ QR^{\prime}=(17\times2.5)cm=42.5\operatorname{cm} \\ RP^{\prime}=(15\times2.5)cm=37.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}$

These are the new sides of the P'Q'R' triangle.
