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)

Aubrey's parents are signing her up for summer camps. If there are 5 weeklong camps to choose from, in how many orders can they
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

This can be done in a total of 10 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a selection problem.

What we are trying to do is to properly select 3 week long camps from the total 5. we are looking for the number of ways in which we can do this.

Now, since this is a selection problem, the proper mathematical term and approach to use is the COMBINATION

Mathematically, having r items to pick from a total n, the number of ways to do this is nCr ways

which is mathematically equivalent to;

n!/(n-r)!r!

now applying this to the problem at hand, what we have is 5C3

= 5!/(5-3)!3! = 5!/2!3! = (5 *4)/2 = 20/2 = 10 ways

Simplify the expression by combining like terms. Then,
Inessa [10]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

The like terms in this equation is y^2 and -7y^2 so combining the two the equation becomes:

xy-6y^2

Then we substitute the values in:

5×2-6×2^2 = -14
