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.

40 POINTS Geometry homework
kicyunya [14]

\angle{DBC   }=(5x+4)°

\angle{ A  }=(2x-2)°

\angle{C   }=(4x-6)°

we know that,

\angle{DBC}=\angle{A}+\angle{C}

According to the question,

\tt{ 5x+4=2x-2+4x-6  }

\tt{ 5x+4=6x-8  }

\tt{ 6x-5x=4+8  }

\blue{x=12   }

so,

\angle{C }=(4x-6)°=(4×12-6)°=(48-6)°=42°

A function is expressed by the equation y=0.3x−6. For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be e
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

0; 10; 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the independent variable

y is the dependent variable

y is dependent on x

a) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −6

y=0.3x−6

-6 = 0.3x-6

0=0.3x

x = 0

Therefore, if the independent variable is 0, the value of the function will be -6.

b) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to −3

y=0.3x−6

-3 = 0.3x-6

0.3x = -3+6

0.3x = 3

x = 3/0.3

x = 10

Therefore, if the independent variable is 10, the value of the function will be -3.

c) For what value of the independent variable will the value of the function be equal to 0.

y=0.3x−6

0=0.3x-6

6 = 0.3x

x = 6/0.3

x = 20

Therefore, if the independent variable is 20, the value of the function will be 0.

Here is a list of numbers:<br> 2, 13, 13, 6, 10,4 16,14,20<br> State the median.
Travka [436]

Answer:

Median = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Arranging it in ascending order:

=> 2,4,6,10,13,13,14,16,20

Median is the middlemost no.

So,

=> Median = 13
