Answer:

The ramp is 21.8 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you convert this into a triangle, 40 ft is the hypotenuse, 33° is the angle next to the right angle (on the horizontal line) and we need to find how tall the ramp is, which will be x. It is very helpful to draw a picture.

We will use the sine ratio because, starting from the given degree of 33, we have the hypotenuse value and need to find the value opposite the degree:

sine=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Insert values:

sin33=\frac{x}{40}

Multiply 40 to both sides to isolate the variable:

40(sin33)=40(\frac{x}{40})\\\\40*sin33=x\\\\x=40*sin33

Insert the value of x into a calculator:

x=21.7855614

Round if necessary:

x=21.8 ft

Done.

Which expression is equivalent to 7(a+2) when a=6?<br> 7(6)<br> 9(6)<br> 7(6)+2<br> 7(6)+14
Pie

It is equivalent to 7(6) + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Solve 7(a + 2) when a = 6

⇒ 7 (6 + 2) = 7 × 8 = 56

  • Step 2: Find its equivalent

7(6) + 14 = 42 + 14 = 56
