Alex is creating an outdoor structure out of two 12 foot boards. The boards must have an angle of elevation

Mathematics

Answer:

5.0 ft - 5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the structure is to be made using two 12 foot boards, then we expect the total perimeter to be equal to (2*12)= 24 ft.

Using the angle of elevation, 40° and the width of 8 ft then you can apply the formula for tangent of a triangle where ;

Tan α = opposite side length/adjacent length

Tan 40°= h/8

h= 8 tan 40° = 6.71 ft

Applying the cosine of an angle formula to find the length of the sliding side

Cosine β = adjacent length /hypotenuse

Cosine 40°= 8/ sliding side length

sliding side length = 8/cosine 40° =10.44 ft

Checking  the perimeter = 10.44 +8+6.71= 25.15 ft

This is more than the total lengths of the boards, so you need to adjust the height as;

24 - 18.44 = 5.56 ft ,thus the height should be less or equal to 5.56 ft

h≤ 5.6 ft

Let f(x)=cos(x)x^-2<br> F’(x)=
kondaur [170]

f(x)=cos(x)x^{-2}\implies f(x)=\cfrac{cos(x)}{x^2}\implies \cfrac{df}{dx}=\stackrel{\textit{quotient rule}}{\cfrac{-sin(x)\cdot x^2-cos(x)\cdot 2x}{(x^2)^2}} \\\\\\ \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{-x[x\cdot sin(x)+2cos(x)]}{x^4}\implies \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{-[xsin(x)+2cos(x)]}{x^3}

Which is bigger 1/3 or 3/5​
GuDViN [60]

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we are comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators, they are called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 5 will be the least common multiple of 3 and 5 or 15.

To get a 15 in the denominator of 1/3, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 which gives us 5/15.

To get a 15 in the denominator of 3/5, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 which gives us 9/15.

Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 15 in the denominator.

To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators.

9/15   -   5/15

Since 9 is greater than 5, 9/15 is greater than 5/15.

This means that 3/5 is bigger than 1/3.

adam wants to compare the fractions 3/12,1/6, and 1/3.he wants to order them from least to greatest and rewrite them so they all
Digiron [165]
3/12 ; 1/6 ; 1/3

Adam must first get the least common multiple of each denominator.

12 : 12, 24, 36
  6 :  6, 12, 18
  3 :  3, 6, 9, 12

12 is the least common denominator. 

We, then, multiply each denominator by a number that will produce 12.

12 x 1 = 12
6 x 2 = 12
3 x 4 = 12

Each number multiplied to the denominator must be the number used to multiply each numerator.

3/12 * 1/1 = 3/12
1/6 * 2/2 =   2/12
1/3 * 4/4 =   4/12

Since they now share a common denominator, the numerator will become the basis of the fraction's value. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction's value.

Fractions in order from least to greatest = 2/12 ; 3/12 ; 4/12

Substitute each fraction with its original fraction:
2/12 ⇒ 1/6   : least

3/12 ⇒ 3/12 : middle
4/12 ⇒ 1/3   : greatest
