Answer:

7.878 ft far

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- A ramp is to be lifted to an angle Q = 10 degrees

- The total length of the ramp L = 8 ft

Find:

- how far does the ramp need to be away to hit the edge of the step

Solution:

- The question asks in "other words" the horizontal distance (d) from the ramp pivot on the floor to the edge of the step when it is lifted 10 degrees.

- We will use trigonometry to solve a right angle triangle: The horizontal distance is a projection of Length L on to the flat ground surface. Hence, we have:

                                        cos(Q) = d / L

                                         d = L*cos(Q)

- Plug in values:

                                         d = 8*cos(10)

Answer:                            d = 7.878 ft

What is the square root of 21
Andru [333]

Answer:

4.58

Step-by-step explanation:

21 is not a perfect square, but lies between the perfect squares 16 and 25.  Thus, √21 lies between √16 and √25, that is, between 4 and 5.  Since 21 is closer to 25 than to 16, √21 is closer to 5 than to 4.  A rough estimate of √21 would be 4.7.

√21 done on a calculator comes out to 4.58.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there's 2 lines intercepting each other, the angle opposite of the other is the same.

3(20) + 50 = 110

6(20) - 10 = 110
