Answer:

10.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the ramp which is leaning against the building,

Given,

The ramp makes a 15 degree angle with the ground.

Also, the distance of one end of ramp from the base of the building = 10 feet,

A building is generally supposed to perpendicular the ground,

Hence, By making the diagram,

We get,

cos 15^{\circ}=\frac{10}{l}   ( Trigonometric ratio ),

\implies l = \frac{10}{cos 15^{\circ}}=10.3527618041\approx 10.4

Therefore, the ramp is approximately 10.4 feet long.

What is 54 as a percentage of 216?<br> %
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

54 as a percentage of 216% is 116.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

100% of 54 is 54 so 54 x 2 would be 108. We have solved 200% of it now for the 16%. The percentage of 54 of 16% would be 8.64. Now add up all we have learned.

108 + 8.64 = 116.64

If (x – 4) + 6 = 2 - (4 - 2x), then x =<br> A. -4<br> B. -2<br> C. 2<br> D. 4
blondinia [14]

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parentheses and turn the 4-2x and make it into 4+2x candle the equal term -4 and should be left with x+6=2+2x then move the variable to the left and change the sign so it would be x-2x=2-6 and collect like terms so it would be -x=2-6 and then calculate that and get -x= -4

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Shifted 5 unit right side then stretched vertically by the factor 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, parent function,

f(x)=\frac{1}{x}

Transformed function,

f(x) = \frac{100}{x-5}

Since, if a function f(x) gives cf(x), where c is any number,

Then the function was vertically stretched by factor c,

While, the function gives f(x-c),

Then the function was shifted c unit right.

Hence, the graph of f(x)=\frac{1}{x} was shifted 5 unit right side then stretched vertically by the factor 100 to create the graph of f(x)=\frac{100}{x-5}
