You want to build a wheelchair ramp leading up to your house. Your front door is 2 feet higher than the driveway and you would l

ike the grade of the ramp to be 7%. (a) What is the angle, θ, that the ramp forms with the driveway? (Round your answer to three decimal places.) s ° (b) How long does the driveway have to be to build this ramp? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) s ft (c) How long will the ramp be? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

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)

Write the equation of the line graphed below.
posledela

Answer:

y=2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope hits the points (-1,2) and (0,2). If you count how many units are right and up, then that's your slope. In this case, the distance between those two points are 1 right and 2 up which is the same thing as 2. The y-intercept is 3 since the slope crosses the y-axis there.
