A ramp is to be built beside the steps to the campus library. Find the angle of elevation of the 23-foot ramp, to the nearest

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

the angle of elevation is 12.56°

Step-by-step explanation:

the height of the ramp represents the opposite side and the length of the ramp the hypotenuse

we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

a: adjacent

o: opposite

h: hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

cos α= a/h

tan α = o/a

we choose the one with opposite and hypotenuse

sin α = o/h

sin α = 5ft / 23ft

sin α = 5/23

α = sin^-1 ( 5/23)

α = 12.56°

the angle of elevation is 12.56°

What is the slope?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

choose two coordinates (40,0) and (70,50) then use y2-y1/x2-x1. when you plug the numbers in 50-0/70-40, subtract 50/30, and simplify, you get 5/3
