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.

Calculate the value of angle A and C of ∆ ABC. Where b=1435cm, a= 782cm and B= 115.6°.​
Monica [59]

The Law of Sines says

\dfrac{\sin A}{a} = \dfrac{\sin B}{b} = \dfrac{\sin C}{c}

\sin A = \dfrac a b \sin B

A = \arcsin( \dfrac{782}{1435} \sin 115.6 ) = 29.44^\circ

We don't have to worry about the obtuse supplement because a triangle can only have one obtuse angle, and that's B.

C = 180 - 115.6 - 29.44 = 34.96^\circ

Answer: A=29.44°, C=34.96°

Solve the initial value problem. dy/dt = 1 + 6/t , t > 0, y = 8 when t = 1
nordsb [41]
\displaystyle\frac{dy}{dt} = 1 + \frac{6}{t}\ \Rightarrow\ dy = \left( 1 + \frac{6}{t}\right) dt\ \Rightarrow\int 1\, dy = \int \left( 1 + \frac{6}{t}\right) dt \ \Rightarrow \\ \\
y = t + 6\ln|t| + C. \text{ But $t\ \textgreater \ 0$ so }y = t + 6\ln t + C. \\ \\ 
y(1) = 8\ \Rightarrow\ 8 = 1 + 6 \ln 1 + C \ \Rightarrow\ C = 7 \text{ so } \\ \\
y(t) = t + 6\ln t + 7
