You almost multiply them the same as regular numbers. Except you multiply them by the numerator and denominator unless you are cross-multiplying.

a survey mr thrones class shows that 5 out of 8 students will by lunch how many out of 720 students in the school will buy lunch

never [62]

5/8 that's how ratio of students that will buy lunch. so in order to find number students who will buy the lunch out of 720, just multiply 720 with 5/8 ie, 720x5/8 ie 450.

Find the hypotenuse of each isosceles right triangle when the legs are of the given measure. 6 sqrt 2

Gemiola [76]

Isosceles right triangles have two equal sides (a and b) that are not the hypotenuse (c). And when two sides are equal, so are their opposite angles. There are only 180° degrees in any triangles, thus the right angle = 90°, so 90 left for the two equal, means that 2x=90,
x = 45°.

There are several ways to go about solving a triangle like this. The best and easiest is simply to memorize that the hypotenuse is exactly root2 times the other sides. Or, each isosceles side is the hypotenuse (c) ÷ root2
$a = b = c \div \sqrt{2} \\ c = a\sqrt{2} \\ c = 6 \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = 6 \times 2 = 12$
Another way to do it is the longer proof of Pythagorean Theorem:
${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}... \: \: c = \sqrt{({a}^{2} + {b}^{2})} \\$
$c= \sqrt{({6 \sqrt{2}) }^{2} + ({6 \sqrt{2})}^{2}} \\ = \sqrt{(2 \times{(6 \sqrt{2} )}^{2} )} = \sqrt{2(36 \times 2)} \\ c = \sqrt{144} = 12$

By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than . If the base of a ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public

choli [55]

Answer:

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

The question given is lacking an information. Here is the correct question.

"By law, a wheelchair service ramp may be inclined no more than 4.76 degrees. If the base of the ramp begins 15 feet from the base of a public building, which equation could be used to determine the maximum height, h, of the ramp where it reaches the building's entrance"

The whole set up will give us a right angled triangle with the base of the building serving as the adjacent side of the triangle and the height h serving as the opposite side since it is facing the angle 4.76°

The side of the wheelchair service ramp is the hypotenuse.

Given theta = 4.76°

And the base of the building = adjacent = 15feet

We can get the height of the building using the trigonometry identity SOH CAH TOA.

Using TOA

Tan(theta) = opposite/Adjacent

Tan 4.76° = h/15

h = 15tan4.76°

The equation that can be used to determine the maximum height is given as h = 15tan4.76°
