You are a landlord, and your tenant complains that you are in violation of the ADA because your wheelchair ramp is too steep. An

independent assessor finds that your ramp has an angle of incline of 4.65°. Explain whether or not your tenant’s complaints are justified

Answer:

Not justified

Step-by-step explanation:

ADA requirements are for a slope of 1 in 12 or less, an 8.3% grade, or an angle of 4.8° (actually, 4.764° when rounded to 3 decimal places). The ramp angle found by the assessor is compliant.

The tenant complaint does not seem justified.

7.Find the lengths of the missing sides in the triangle. If your answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form. Th

Fed [463]

Here a right angled triangle given. one angle with measure $45^o$ given. The three sides of the triangle given 4, x, y.

We have to find, the sides which is opposite, adjacent and hypotenuse here.

We know that the side opposite to right angle is always hypotenuse. So, hypotenuyse = y.

The side adjacent to the given angle $45^o$ is x. So, here adjacent = x.

The opposite side is opposite to the given angle. So, opposite = 4.

Now we will use SOHCAHTOA that is $sin(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} , cos(x) =\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse} , tan(x) =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ , where x is the angle given.

To get x, we will use tan. So we will get,

$tan(45^o) = \frac{4}{x}$

We know the value of $tan(45^o) = 1$ . By substituting the value we will get,

$1 =\frac{4}{x}$

To find x, we have to move x here to the left side by multiplying it to both sides. We will get,

$(1)(x) = (\frac{4}{x}) (x)$

$x = 4$

So we have got the value of x here.

Now to find y, we will use the trigonometric function sine.

$sin(45^o) =\frac{4}{y}$

we know the value of $sin(45^o) =\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

By substituting the value we will get,

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{4}{y}$

By cross multiplying we will get,

$(\sqrt{2}) (y) = (4)(2)$

$\sqrt{2}y = 8$

We will get y by dividing both sides by $\sqrt{2}$ , we will get,

$\frac{\sqrt{2}y}{\sqrt{2}} =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }$

$y =\frac{8}{\sqrt{2} }$

Now we will rationalize the denominator by multiplying $\sqrt{2}$ to the top and bottom.

$y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2})}$

$y =\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$y = 4\sqrt{2}$

So we have got the required values of x and y.

Stels [109]

Answer:

1:10 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>60 minutes in an hour</em>, so

8:50am + <u>4 hours</u> = 12:50pm

12:50pm + <u>20 minutes</u> = 1:10pm
