Answer: (a) The angle the ramp forms with the driveway, s° = 4.004° (3 d.p)

(b) The driveway has to be, s = 28.57 ft

(c) The ramp will be 28.64 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

First key thing to know is that the %grade of a ramp = rise/ramp run

%grade of a ramp = 7% = 0.07

(Kindly find attached a diagram to assist with understanding).

Also note that, <em>the ramp run is not the same as the ramp length</em>

(a) the angle, θ, is the angle of slope between the driveway and the ramp,

tan θ = 0.07,

θ = tan⁻¹ 0.07 = 4.004° (3 d.p)

(b) the length of the driveway (s) is the same as the length of the ramp run, so, %grade of a ramp = rise/ramp run

0.07 = 2/s

s = 2/0.07 = 28.57 ft (2 d.p)

(c) the length of the ramp can be found by using Pythagoras' theorem,

L = ramp length =\sqrt{rise^{2} + ramprun^{2} }

L = \sqrt{2^{2} +28.571^{2} }

L = \sqrt{820.3041}

L = 28.64 ft (2 d.p)

Solve for x<br> X^2+6x+9=20
Masja [62]

Answer:

x = 1.47  or x = -7.47

Step-by-step explanation:

x²+6x+9=20

This is a quadratic equation

x²+6x+9-20=0

x²+6x-11=0

Step 1 : Write the quadratic formula

x = <u>-b±√b²-4(a)(c)</u>

              2a

Step 2 : Substitute values in the formula

a = 1

b = 6

c = -11

x = <u>-6±√6²-4(1)(-11)</u>

              2(1)

x = <u>-6±√80</u>

          2

x = -3 + 2√5 or x = -3 - 2√5

x = 1.47         or x = -7.47

Help Me Figure Out With This Question Please
adoni [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know the angle is a right angle, you can say that the two equations equal 90. A right angle is 90 degrees

3x+40+4x-6=90

Then Simplify

7x+34=90

Then Subtract:

7x=56

Then Divide:

x= 8

After, plug x into the angle equations

1. 3(8)+40= 64

2.4(8)-6= 26

The angles are 64 and 26

Slope of a parallel line with the points (7,-5) and (-5,7)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer: Negative 1  The slope of parallel lines is the same.

The attachment shows two such lines, given coordinates labeled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line passing through the given points.

 rise/run  

Rise is the difference in y-values  7-(-5)  = 12

Run is the difference between x-values  -5 - 7  = - 12

The Slope is 12/-12   simplify:

slope = -1
