ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

Answer: 8 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the relation:

Time  = distance/velocity

Distance = 50 miles

Velocity in horse = 9mph

Velocity walking = 3 1/2 mph = 3.5 mph

Then, if T is the total time, X is the distance that he travels in horse and Y is the distance that he travels by foot, we have:

X + Y = 50 miles:

T/2 = X/9mph

T/2 = Y/3.5mph

Then we have:

X/9mph = Y/3.5mph

X = Y*(9/3.5)

And by the first relation:

X = 50 mi - Y

then we have:

50mi - Y = Y*(9/3.5)

50mi = Y + Y*(9/3.5) = Y*(1 + 9/3.5) = Y*3.57

Y = 50mi/3.57 = 14mi

Then we have:

T/2 = 14mi/3.5mph

T = 2*(14/3.5) hours = 8 hours

The recommended angle for a wheelchair ramp is 5 degrees. If the rise of the ramp to go up the steps is 5 feet, find the horizon
dybincka [34]

Answer:

57.2\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula of slope is "rise over run", where the "rise" (means change in y, up or down) and the "run" (means change in x, left or right)

In this problem

The tangent of angle of 5 degrees is equal to the quotient of "rise over run"

Let

y ----> the rise of the ramp

x ----> the run of the ramp

tan(5^o)=\frac{y}{x}

we have

y=5\ ft

substitute and solve for x

tan(5^o)=\frac{5}{x}

x=\frac{5}{tan(5^o)}

x=57.2\ ft

Pleassse answer quick! (Again..)
Tema [17]
Well for problems like this you need to look at what is plotted. And you need to look at the y intercept which is the vertical line and the x intercept which is the horizontal line. I think the answer is B because of what is plotted. I am not 100% sure but I think it is. Let me try to look into it more but what is this for? Hw assignment?
