Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is lacking an information. Here is the correct question.

"By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than 4.76 degrees. If the base of the ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public building, which equation could be used to determine the maximum height, h, of the ramp where it reaches the building's entrance"

The whole set up will give us a right angled triangle with the base of the building serving as the adjacent side of the triangle and the height h serving as the opposite side since it is facing the angle 4.76°

The side of the wheelchair service ramp is the hypotenuse.

Given theta = 4.76°

And the base of the building = adjacent = 15feet

We can get the height of the building using the trigonometry identity SOH CAH TOA.

Using TOA

Tan(theta) = opposite/Adjacent

Tan 4.76° = h/15

h = 15tan4.76°

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°

How to solve 11×11-6×17+4
almond37 [142]

use the order of operations for this equation.

multiplication comes first.

11(11) - 6(17) + 4

121 - 102 + 4

for addition and subtraction, order doesn’t matter.

121 - 102 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

answer = 23

What is the center and radius of the following circle: x2 + (y _ 6)_ = 50
Rama09 [41]
The true question should be like this:
<span>What is the center and radius of the following circle: x^2 + (y _ 6)^2 = 50, 
circle quation formula is (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = R², so by identifying each term, we find </span>(x-a)^2=x^2 = (x-0)^2, (y-b)^2= (y _ 6)^2, R² = 50, implies R =5sqrt(2), 
it is easy to identify that the center is (a,b)= (0, 6)
the radius is R =5sqrt(2),
