According to the information given, the ramp would be 50 feet high. (However, that seems really high. Did you type your problem correctly?)

If you draw a picture, you will see that you can set up a cosine ratio to solve this problem. With a 30 degree angle of depression, the angle we are going to use 60 degrees.

We can set up the following equation:

cos(60) = x / 100
0.5 = x / 100
50 = x

Zanzabum

Answer:

y=0.75x+3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is

\frac{6 - 4.5}{3 - 1}  =   \frac{3}{4}

Substituting into point-slope form,

y - 6 = 0.75(x - 3)

y - 6 = 0.75x - 2.25

y = 0.75x + 3.75

The question is below
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

£59.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem, we must:

  1. Solve for the length of the fence (aka height)
  2. Find the area of the lawn (trapezoid)
  3. Find the number of cans needed
  4. Find the price of all the cans

Area of a trapezoid, and why the formula works:

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides known as bases. The other two sides are known as the legs.

To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:

\frac{B_1 + B_2}{2}* h

This works because if we used the formula, we would be duplicating the trapezoid to form a rectangle with a side length of B1 + B2, and a height of h. Since the trapezoid is half of that, we divide by 2.

Solve for height:

The height is unknown but can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The difference between the bases is the length of the bottom leg of the right triangle, and 17 is the hypotenuse.

Difference = 20 - 12 = 8

Hypotenuse = 17

  • 8² + fence² = 17²
  • 64 + fence² = 289
  • 225 = fence²
  • fence = 15

The height is 15

Solve for area:

Now we can solve for the area.

  • A = \frac{B_1 + B_2}{2} * h
  • A = \frac{12 + 20}{2} * 15
  • A = \frac{32}{2} * 15
  • A = 16 * 15 = 240

The area is 240

Cans:

The area of the lawn is 240 square meters. Each can cover 100 square meters.

  • 240 ÷ 100 = 2.4

Since we can't use part of a can, we round up to three whole cans.

The price of 3 cans :

  • 3 * 19.75
  • 59.25

£59.25

The Pythagorean Theorem:

The Pythagorean theorem is a very common geometry formula used to find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, given the lengths of the two other bases.

The formula is : a^2 + b^2 = c^2

  • a is a leg
  • b is a leg
  • c is the hypotenuse

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first, we need to find the weight of the table. We know that 8 boxes weighs a total of 240kg (since each box weights 30kg). Thus, we can conclude that the table weighs 70kg by doing 310-240=70.

Now, we can write our function. Let x equal the amount of boxes.

The table is a set weight, so that would be our constant.

Thus, we will have:

f(x)=30x+70

30x represents the weight each box of book adds to the total. One box equals 30kg, 2 boxes equal 60kg, etc.

The 70 represents the unchanging weight of the table.

In terms of W(x), it will be:

W(x)=30x+70
