What is the distance BC between the two horizontal parallel bars?

One thing you should notice is that the transverse line and the parallel line form a right triangle. We are told that the base is 4 and the angle between the hypotenuse and the leg is 45°

From this we can solve for the second leg. Here's the list of trig functions

sinФ = opposite/hypotenuse
cosФ = adjacent/hypotenuse
tanФ = opposite/adjacent

Since we are only given the adjacent and we are trying to solve for the opposite leg, we can deduce we use tanФ. So we get

tan45 = x/4

Multiply by 4 to isolate x and we get

4*tan45 = x
Hopes this helps!

If the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 9/4 and its length is 18 cm, what is the width of the rectangle?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The width is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio of length to width is 9 to 4. and we know the length is 18, 18 is 2 times as much as 9, so 4*2=8.                   9*2=18,4*2=8

and divide by denominator

(4/3)/(1/4). Keep the first.  Change the sign to multiplication and Flip the second fraction.

4/3 x 4/1 = 16/3

change to proper fraction :  16/3 = 5 1/3 cups
