Using the formula a^2+b^2=c^2you can fill in the numbers so that a=height of mattress in inches,b=40 inches or distance from base of the bed and c=48 or length of the ramp. a^2+40^2=48^2a^2+1600=2304
So then it becomes2304-1600=a^2704=a^2 26.5+=aSo, The top of the mattress(after rounding) is 26.5 inches off the ground.

The diagram shows the sector of a circle with the centre O and radius 6cm.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Area of the shaded region = 1.92 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Area of the shaded region = Area of the sector OMN - Area of the triangle OMN

Area of sector OMN = \frac{\theta}{360}(\pi r^{2})

Here, θ = Central angle of the sector

r = radius of the sector

Area of sector OMN = \frac{50}{360}(\pi )(6)^2

                                  = 15.708 square cm

Area of ΔOMN = 2(ΔOPN)

Area of ΔOPN = \frac{1}{2}(OP)(PN)

Area of ΔOMN = OP × PN

In ΔOPN,

sin(25°) = \frac{PN}{ON}

PN = ONsin(25°)

     = 6sin(25°)

     = 2.536 cm²

cos(25°) = \frac{OP}{ON}

OP = ONcos(25°)

OP = 6cos(25°)

OP = 5.438 cm

Area of ΔOMN = 2.536 × 5.438

                         = 13.791 cm²

Area of the shaded region = 15.708 - 13.791 = 1.917 cm²

                                             ≈ 1.92 cm²

What is the difference of the rational expressions below? 2/x-2 - 3/x
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: \frac{6-x}{x^{2}-2x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. This is:

LCM=x(x-2)

Divide the LCM by each denominator and multiply the result by each numerator, then you obtain:

\frac{2x-3(x-2)}{x(x-2)}

Apply the distributive property, then you obtain:

\frac{2x-3x+6}{x^{2}-2x}

Add like terms, then you obtain:

\frac{6-x}{x^{2}-2x}
