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.

<h3>Answer:  x = 14</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

Refer to the diagram below. I've added a line segment and two variables y and z. This forms two isosceles triangles.

The central angle 56 degrees subtends the same arc as the inscribed angle y. By the inscribed angle theorem, this means y = 56/2 = 28. The inscribed angle is always half of the central angle (when both angles subtend the same arc).

Focus on the smaller isosceles triangle that has angles 56, z and z. Those three angles add to 180

z+z+56 = 180

2z+56 = 180

2z = 180-56

2z = 124

z = 124/2

z = 62

Now focus on the larger isosceles triangle (angles y = 28, x+z and x+z)

We'll use the same trick as before.

(x+z)+(x+z)+(y) = 180

(x+62)+(x+62)+(28) = 180 ... plug in z = 62 and y = 28

2x+152 = 180

2x = 180-152

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,4) and (6,9) and figure out what y=mx+b for this equation woul
jeka57 [31]
Hello there! So, y = mx + b is in slope-intercept form, where m represents the slope, b represents the y-intercept, and y and x remain unfilled. First off, let's solve for the slope. The formula for slope is y2 - y1 / x2 - x1, where you subtract the first x and y coordinates from the second x and y coordinates. So it would be formed like this:

9 - 4 / 6 - (-4)

Let's subtract. 9 - 4 is 5. 6 - (-4) is 10. 5/10 is 1/2 in simplest form. The slope for this equation is 1/2. Now, let's find the y-intercept. We will find that by plugging one of the points into the equation and solving for b. The x and y coordinates will be filled in by that coordinate. Let's use (-4, 4) for this problem. We will also plug in the slope. In this case, the problem will look like this:

4 = (1/2)(-4) + b

Now, let's multiply 1/2 and -4 to get -2. Now, to get b by itself, subtract 2 to both sides to isolate the b. -2 + 2 cancels out. 4 + 2 is 6. b = 6. There. The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = 1/2x + 6.

A play has tickets available for 8 orchestra seats and 12 balcony seats. The next person to buy a ticket will be randomly assign
qaws [65]

The probability that the next person will be assigned an orchestra seats is 2/5.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

Here, Available Orchestra seats = 8

            Balcony seats = 12

      Total available seats = 12 + 8 = 20

  Probability = Favorable Outcome / Total Outcome

  Probability of getting orchestra ticket = 8/20

                                                                 = 2/5

Thus, the probability that the next person will be assigned an orchestra seats is 2/5.
