The distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the sofa rounded to the nearest tenth is 47.3 inches.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

According to the diagram, length of the ramp is, AC= 55 inches. The top of the seat cushion is 28 inches above the floor. That means, BC=28 inches

We need to find the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the sofa which is AB

In right angle triangle ABC, using Pythagorean theorem...

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2\\ \\ (55)^2= AB^2 + (28)^2 \\ \\ AB^2 = (55)^2 - (28)^2 \\ \\ AB^2 = 3025 - 784\\ \\ AB^2 = 2241\\ \\ AB = \sqrt{2241}= 47.3

So, the distance from the base of the ramp to the base of the sofa rounded to the nearest tenth is 47.3 inches.

the side length of a square measures 2 x+1 and the side lengths of a triangle are 2x, 2x, and 3x+10.The square and triangle have
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

perimeter = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

side of square = 2x + 1

  • so first lets find the perimeter of square

p = 4 × s (side)

p = 4(2x +1)............. from the given

p = 8x + 4...... we will come back for this equation

side of trianles = 2x,2x,3x + 10

  • second lets find the perimeter of triangle

p = s + s + s ( all the three sides)

p = 2x + 2x + 3x + 10

p = 7x + 10........we got another equation we will use it later

  • The question says the perimeter of square and the perimeter of triangle are equal so
  • 8x + 4(the perimeter of square we solved before) = 7x + 10(the perimeter of triangle we solved before)

8x + 4 = 7x + 10

8x - 7x = 10 - 4

x = 6 ... now lets substitute x

8x + 4

8 × 6 +4

48 + 4

52

the same thing will happen if we substitute for the perimeter of triangle too.

Use the given information to write the standard form equation of a circle:
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h) 2 + (y – k) 2 = r 2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. If a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
