We use the trigonometric function for this case. An escalator is an inclined path. We form a right triangle since we have given the value of the height. The height from the first floor to second floor is called the adjacent while the travelled distance of the people is called the hypothenuse. We use cosine function because we are given in terms of adjacent and hypothenuse. The ratio of cosine function is
cos x = a/h
where x is the angle
Solving for h,
h = a/(cos x) = 21/(cos 30) = 24.25 ft

Answer:

You need to find the x and y intercepts so...

The x intercept is (18,0) since x=18

The y intercept is (0,12) since y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Cover the y when you are finding the y intercept

Cover the x when you are finding the x intercept

8x/8

144/8

=18

12y/12

144/112

=12

ale4655 [162]

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people to paint the bridge is inversely proportional to the number of hours it takes.

(If there are more people, it will take less time etc.)

9 people can paint the bridge in 5 hours.

=> 2 people can paint the bridge in 5 * (9/2) = 22.5 hours.

<h2>The area of the framed photograph = 1156 inch^{2}</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of photograph (l) = 14 inches and

The breadth of photograph (b) = 10 inches

To find, the area of the framed photograph = ?

We know that,

The area of the framed photograph = (l + 2b)(l + 2b)

= (14 + 2 × 10) (14 + 2 × 10) inch^{2}

= (14 + 20) (14 + 20) inch^{2}

= (34) (34) inch^{2}

= 1156 inch^{2}

∴ The area of the framed photograph = 1156 inch^{2}
