Answer:

11.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a triangle to represent the problem. (See the one attached.)

The sides involved in this problem are the opposite and adjacent to the given angle, so we need to use the tangent ratio.

To find the length of the ramp, we need to find the tangent of angle 15.

tanx = opp/adj

tan15 = 3/x

Multiply by x on both sides:

x(tan15) = (3/x)x

x(tan15) = 3

Divide by tan15 on both sides:

x(tan15) = 3

/tan15      /tan15

x = 3/tan15

Divide tan15 from 3 using a calculator:

x ≈ 11.2

There is a relationship between the expected number of tickets sold for a raffle and the dollar value of the prize for the raffl
nadya68 [22]

Answer: The dollar value of the raffle prize = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The equation T - 6P = 100 describes this relationship, where T is the expected number of tickets sold, and P is the dollar value of the raffle prize.

If T =1900

Then,

1900-6P=100  [Put T=1900 in given equation]

\Rightarrow\ 6P=1900-100\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6P= 1800\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{1800}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=300

Hence, the dollar value of the raffle prize = 300

Find the volume of this cylinder.
const2013 [10]

Volume of a Right circular cylinder=πr²h

Using "Cavaliers principle" or Just pire logic... it can be understood that...

if we were to cut of the base and top of the cylinder such that it will make up to be a right circular cylinder and join the other two pieces on top; We would obtain a Right circular cylinder With The same radius and height as the Given cylinder.

So;

Given. Base area B=81πcm²

also Base area =πr²

=>πr²=81π cm²

=>r=√81=9cm

Also Given;

Height h=3r

=>Height,h=3×9=27cm

So;Volume of cylinder V=πr²h ;(r²=81,h=27)

=>V=(81×27×22)/7

=>V=6867.18cm³ (approx.)

So,Required Volume =6867.18cm³(approx.)

Hope it helps...

Regards,
