An escalator ascends 45 feet over a horizontal distance of 30 feet. what is the angle of elevation?

1 answer:

4 0

The angle of elevation will be given by:
cos θ=adjacent / hypotenuse
thus
adjacent=30 ft
hypotenuse=45 ft
thus
cos θ=30/45=2/3
hence
θ=arccos 2/3
θ=49.2°

You want a snack. One cookie has 130 calories. An orange has 35 calories. What is the ratio of the calories in an orange to the

MrMuchimi

We want the ratio of calories of an orange to a cookie and are told that an orange has 35 calories and a cookie has 130 so:

O:C=35:130

The greatest common factor of 35 and 130 is the product of the shared primes of the numbers prime factorization.

35=5*7 and 130=2*5*13, so the GCF is just 5, so divide each term by 5

O:C=7:26
