Answer:

A. 4.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that,

The horizontal distance for the ramp = 12 feet.

Maximum height of the ramp = 1 feet.

So, we get that the value of the angle 'x' made by the ramp with the ground is given by,

\tan x=\frac{perpendicular}{base}

i.e. \tan x=\frac{1}{12}

i.e. \tan x=0.0833

i.e. x=\arctan 0.0833

i.e. x = 4.8°

Thus, the maximum angle made by the ramp with the ground is 4.8°.

A computer programming team has 13 members. a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project? b. Suppose sev
Julli [10]

Answer:

1716 ;

700 ;

1715 ;

658 ;

1254 ;

792

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of members (n) = 13

a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project?

13C7:

Recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

13C7 = 13! ÷ (13 - 7)!7!

= 13! ÷ 6! 7!

(13*12*11*10*9*8*7!) ÷ 7! (6*5*4*3*2*1)

1235520 / 720

= 1716

b. Suppose seven team members are women and six are men.

Men = 6 ; women = 7

(i) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain four women and three men?

(7C4) * (6C3)

Using calculator :

7C4 = 35

6C3 = 20

(35 * 20) = 700

(ii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at least one man?

13C7 - 7C7

7C7 = only women

13C7 = 1716

7C7 = 1

1716 - 1 = 1715

(iii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at most three women?

(6C4 * 7C3) + (6C5 * 7C2) + (6C6 * 7C1)

Using calculator :

(15 * 35) + (6 * 21) + (1 * 7)

525 + 126 + 7

= 658

c. Suppose two team members refuse to work together on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

(First in second out) + (second in first out) + (both out)

13 - 2 = 11

11C6 + 11C6 + 11C7

Using calculator :

462 + 462 + 330

= 1254

d. Suppose two team members insist on either working together or not at all on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

Number of ways with both in the group = 11C5

Number of ways with both out of the group = 11C7

11C5 + 11C7

462 + 330

= 792

Solve the equation. Check your solutions.<br> |4b+4|=|2b+8|
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>

Explanation:

|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|

<em>Solve absolute value</em>

|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|

Either 4b + 4 = 2b + 8 or 4b + 4 = −(2b + 8)

4b + 4 = 2b + 8 <em>(Possibility 1)</em>

4b + 4 − 2b = 2b + 8 − 2b <em>(Subtract 2b from both sides)</em>

2b + 4 = 8

2b + 4 − 4 = 8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>

2b = 4

2b / 2 = 4 / 2 <em>(Divide both sides by 2)</em>

b = 2

4b + 4 = −(2b + 8) <em>(Possibility 2)</em>

4b + 4 = −2b − 8 <em>(Simplify both sides of the equation)</em>

4b + 4 + 2b = −2b − 8 + 2b <em>(Add 2b to both sides)</em>

6b + 4 = −8

6b + 4 − 4 = −8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>

6b = −12

6b / 6 = -12 / 6 <em>(Divide both sides by 6)</em>

b = -2

<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>

2. Ms. Rich is creating a walkway around her rectangular garden. If the walkway will be 3 feet wide, and the garden is 10ft by 1
Yuki888 [10]

The area of the walkway is 168 square feet if Ms. Rich is creating a walkway around her rectangular garden. If the walkway will be 3 feet wide, and the garden is 10ft by 12ft.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the space occupied by the rectangle, which is planner 2-dimensional geometry.

The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is given by:

Area of rectangle = length × width

The dimensions of the garden = 10 ft by 12 ft

Area = 10×12 = 120 square feet

The width of the walkway = 3 feet

If we create a walkway around the garden, it will be a rectangle around the garden.

So the dimensions for the bigger rectangle = (3+10+3) ft by (3+12+3) ft

Area of the bigger rectangle = 16×18 = 288 square feet

So the area of the walkway = 288 - 120 = 168 square feet

Thus, the area of the walkway is 168 square feet if Ms. Rich is creating a walkway around her rectangular garden. If the walkway will be 3 feet wide, and the garden is 10ft by 12ft.
