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.

Describe a sequence of transformations that can be performed to polygon ABCDE to prove that it is similar to polygon FGHIJ
maxonik [38]

Answer:

answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCDE go through dilation over center (6 , -2) with factor of 1/2 to FGHIJ

AB // FG slope: -2 , √20:√5 = 2: 1

BC // GH // X axis 8:4 = 2:1

CD // HI, slope= 1 , √8:√2 = 2:1

DE // IJ // x axis, 4:2 = 2:1

EA // JF // y axis, 2:1

gogolik [260]

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that t = 3 hours.

<h3>What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?</h3>

Velocity is <u>distance divided by time</u>, hence:

v = \frac{d}{t}

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

d = 15 miles, v = 5 mph

Hence the time in hours is found as follows:

v = \frac{d}{t}

5 = \frac{15}{t}

5t = 15

t = 15/5

t = 3 hours.
