Answer:

Stairs come in many different forms, and while building a basic staircase may appear to be a simple task, there are actually a number of parameters, calculations, and building codes that must be considered. These range from the length, width, and height of specific parts of the stairs, to where doors are placed in relation to stairs; the arc of a door must be completely on the landing or floor and not be allowed to swing over steps. Below is a list of some of the most common terminology regarding stairs, as well as some commonly used building codes. Building codes or requirements can differ at a local level, and a person building a staircase should refer to the codes specific to their locations.

Run/Tread: The run or tread is the part of the stairway that a person steps on. Its length is measured from the outer edge of the step, which includes the nosing if it is present, to the vertical portion of the stair called the riser. Both nosing and riser are discussed below. When measuring total run of a staircase, the length of the tread above the last riser is not included in the measurement. Also, when nosing is present, total run is not simply the sum of tread length, since the overhang caused by the nosing must be subtracted from the total run.

Building codes generally suggest that the minimum length of a tread be 10 inches (25.4 cm).

Rise/Riser: The rise, or height of a step is measured from the top of one tread to the top of the next tread. It is not the physical height of the riser because this excludes the thickness of the tread. The number of risers, not the number of treads, is used to determine the number of steps that comprise a staircase.

Building codes generally suggest that the maximum height of a riser be 7.75 inches (19.7 cm)

Nosing: The nosing is the protrusion at the edge of a tread that hangs over the riser below. Not all steps have a nosing, but when present, the nosing is included in the length of the tread. The main purpose of a nosing is to improve safety by providing extra space on which a person can place their feet.

Common building codes generally suggest that the nosing have a minimum length of 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) and a maximum length of 1.25 inches (3.2 cm).

Headroom: Headroom is the height measured from the top of a tread to the ceiling above it. While building codes for headroom are primarily intended to ensure enough room for people to comfortably use the stairs, the codes typically require far more room than the average height of a person to allow for moving larger objects such as furniture.

Building codes generally suggest at least 6 ft. 8 inches (203.2 cm) of stair headroom.

Stair Width: Stair width is measured from edge to edge of each side of the tread, perpendicular to tread length. While measurements of length are conventionally longer than those of width when considering rectangles, in the case of steps, the width is usually the longer side. Stair width does not include handrails.

Building codes generally suggest that stairs be at least 36 inches (91.44 cm) wide.

Handrails & Guards/Guardrails: A handrail is a railing that runs up a stair incline for users to hold when ascending or descending a staircase. A guard is "a building component or a system of building components located near the open sides of elevated walking surfaces that minimizes the possibility of a fall from the walking surface to the lower level." Guards can include rails (guardrails), but can be any number of other constructions such as walls, half-walls, or even a bench.

Building codes generally require guards for stairs that have a total rise of more than 30 inches above the floor, and require that these guards be at least 34 inches (86.36 cm) in height measured from the top of the treads. Similarly, handrails must be between 34 and 38 (96.52) inches high measured from the top of the treads, with a diameter between 1.25 inches (3.18 cm) and 2.675 inches (6.79 cm).

Stringer: A stair stringer is a structural member that supports the treads and risers of a staircase. Typically, there are three in a staircase: one on each side, and one in the middle. Stringers are not always visible, but can be seen on stairs with open sides. The stringers can either be cut to the shape of each step, or in some cases are uncut and conceal the edges of the treads.

Which of the following values are in the range of the function graphed below?
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I see only one red function line in the graph. this line represents the simple function y = 1, for x in the interval [-2,1].

the domain of a function defines the possible values for x, and the range of a function defined the possible values for y.

this function has only one possible value for y : 1

so, only A applies.

Can someone please help me I really need to pass this question!!!!
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

a ≈ 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' theorem

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

a² + 6² = 8², that is

a² + 36 = 64 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

a² = 28 ( take the square root of both sides )

a = \sqrt{28} ≈ 5.3 ( to the nearest tenth )

Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 4x²-4x+1 and verify the relation between its zeroes and coefficients
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

A) zeros are x = ½ or x = ½

B) >> sum of zeros = (-Coefficient of x)/(Coefficient of x²)

>> Product of the zeros = Constant term/Coefficient of x²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the zeros, we will equate the polynomial to zero.

Thus;

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

Using quadratic equation, we can find the zeros.

x = [-(-4) ± √((-4)² - (4 × 4 × 1))]/(2 × 4)

x = (4 ± 0)/8

x = 4/8 and x = 4/8

Thus, zeros are x = ½ or x = ½

Now, to find the relationships between its zeroes and coefficients;

Sum of zeroes = ½ + ½ = 1

This is equal to -b/a = -(-4)/4 = 1.

Thus;

sum of zeros = (-Coefficient of x)/(Coefficient of x²)

Product of zeros = ½ × ½ = ¼

c/a = 1/4

This is equal to the product of the zeros.

Thus;

Product of the zeros = Constant term/Coefficient of x²
