The slope of AC is -0.4

Proof:
In triangles ABC and DBE,
∠DBE is common to both triangles.
AB = 2DB (D is the midpoint of the interval AB)
Also, BC = 2BE (E is the midpoint of the interval BC)

Thus triangles ABC and DBE are similar in the ratio 2:1

Since, they are similar, ∠BDE must equal ∠BAC (corresponding angles in similar triangles)

If ∠BDE = ∠BAC, DE must be parallel to AC (corresponding angles are equal along parallel lines)
Thus, the slope of AC = the slope of DE
Thus, the slope of AC is -0.4

Your towns public library is building a new wheelchair ramp to its entrance. By law the maximum angle of incline for the ramp is

Mrrafil [7]

For this case we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We have the angle between the base and the hypotenuse of the triangle.
We have the height of the triangle.
We want to calculate the base of the triangle.
For this, we use the following trigonometric relationship:
$tan (4.76) = 2 / x
$
Clearing x we have:
$x = 2 / tan (4.76)

 x = 24.02 feet$
Answer:
the shortest horizontal distance that the ramp can span is:
x = 24.02 feet

I suspect that you might mean 'crimes' and 'police'. If that's the case,
then what we have here is a sentence that has not been proofread
for errors, and doesn't ask any question. I'm not going to worry about it.

Rashad draws a figure and divides it into equal parts. Two of the parta are red. The other 4 parts are blue. Rashad saya that 2/

Juliette [100K]

Let
x--------------> the complete figure
we know that
the figure is divided into 6 equal parts
x= (x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)
red=(x/6)+(x/6)--------> red=(2x/6)=x/3
blue=(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)+(x/6)=(4x/6)=2x/3

Rashad say that 2/4 of the figure is red-------> Rashad is wrong
because (2/4) <span>It is half of the figure

</span>the correct thing is to say (1/3) o the figure is red and (2/3) of the figure is blue
