Answer:

1) B

2) About 5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

We can use the following co-function identity:

\sin(\theta)=\cos(90-\theta)

Substitute A for θ:

\sin(A)=\cos(90-A)

Since we know that sin(A) is 1/3, this means that cos(90-A) must also be 1/3.

So, our answer is B.

2)

Refer to the drawing.

Remember that 1-inch rise is a height of 1 while a 12 inch length is a length of 12.

So, to find the maximum ramp angle, we simply need to find the value of x.

We know the sides opposite and adjacent to x. So, we can use tangent:

\tan(x)=\text{opp}/\text{adj}

Substitute 1 for the opposite side and 12 for the adjacent side:

\tan(x)=1/12

Take the inverse tangent of both sides:

x=\tan^{-1}(1/12)

Use a calculator. Make sure you're in Degrees mode:

x\approx4.76\textdegree\approx5\textdegree

So, the maximum ramp angle should be about 5°

Tasha plants to tile the floor in her room with square tiles that are 1/4 foot long. will she use more or fewer tiles if she onl
WITCHER [35]

1/4 foot = 3 inches.
The area of a 1/4-ft square is (3" x 3") = 9 square inches.

1/3 foot = 4 inches.
The area of a 1/3-ft square is (4" x 4") = 16 square inches.

The 1/3-ft square tile covers more area than a 1/4-ft square tile
covers.  So she won't need as many 1/3-ft tiles to cover the floor
in her room.  She will use fewer of those.

Check the picture below.

thus, if one side on the square is x - x², then the area for the square is (x - x²)(x - x²), or (x - x²)²

now... what is the "x" value for the region, let's check their intersection.

\bf \begin{cases}
y=x\\
y=x^2
\end{cases}\implies x=x^2\implies 0=x^2-x\implies 0=x(x-1)
\\\\\\
x=
\begin{cases}
0\\
1
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\displaystyle \int\limits_{0}^{1}\ (x-x^2)^2\cdot dx\implies \int\limits_{0}^{1}\ (x^2-2x^3+x^4)\cdot dx
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x^2}{2}-\cfrac{2x^4}{4}+\cfrac{x^5}{5}\implies \left. \cfrac{x^2}{2}-\cfrac{x^4}{2}+\cfrac{x^5}{5} \right]_{0}^{1}\implies \left[ \cfrac{1}{2}-\cfrac{1}{2}+\cfrac{1}{5} \right]-[0]\implies \cfrac{1}{5}
