What does it mean to rise over run when the slope is integer

1 answer:

myrzilka [38]3 years ago

The expression isn't "to rise over the run".
The correct expression is "THE rise over the run".
Basically, it means slope is the angle of altitude divided by distance.
So, if a ramp is 20 feet long and it lifts cargo up 2 feet, then the rise over the run is in 2 / 20.

A figure is composed of a semicircle and a right triangle. Determine the area of the shaded region. Use 3.14 for π and round to

Aliun [14]

Answer:

$A=9.5\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the shaded region is equal to the area of triangle plus the area of semicircle

so

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh+\frac{1}{2}\pi r^{2}$

we have

$b=4\ ft$

Find the height of the right triangle applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$5^2=h^2+4^2$

$h^2=9\\h=3\ ft$

The radius of the semicircle is half the height of triangle

$r=3/2=1.5\ ft$

substitute in the formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}(4)(3)+\frac{1}{2}(3.14)(1.5)^{2}$

$A=6+3.5=9.5\ ft^2$

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

∠x = 59°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ECD = 52° because they are alternate angles and will be equal

∠x = 180° - 52° - 69° = 59° because the sum of the interior angles of a triangle = 180°
