Answer:

7.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

take the 5 away from the 20, you have 15 inches left. Isosceles triangles have two equal sides; 15 divided into two equally is 7.5

Suppose a new regulation that a maximum angle of a ramp for a wheelchairs is 8°. At least how long must the new ramp be? Round t

Llana [10]

Answer:

The length of the ramp is at least 17.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the appropriate diagram.

The length of the ramp is represented with z

So, we have:

$\theta = 8$

$BC = 2.4$

Required

Find z

To find z, we make use of sine formula:

$sin\theta = \frac{BC}{z}$

Make z the subject

$z= \frac{BC}{sin\theta }$

So:

$z= \frac{2.4}{sin(8)}$

$z= \frac{2.4}{0.1392}$

$z= 17.2ft$

<em>The length is at least 17.2 feet</em>

The location of point V is (-3,3). The location of point X is (9,13). Determine the location of point W which is 3/4 of the way

Inga [223]

ANSWER

$W(\frac{9}{7},\frac{51}{7} )$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the coordinates of the point W(x,y) which divides V(-3,3) and X(9,13) in the ratio m:n=3:4.

The x-coordinate of this point is given by:

$x= \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m + n}$

$x= \frac{3(9)+4( - 3)}{4 + 3}$

$x= \frac{21 - 12}{4 + 3}$

$x= \frac{9}{7}$

The y-coordinates is given by;

$y= \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m + n}$

$y= \frac{3(13)+4( 3)}{4 + 3}$

$y= \frac{39+12}{4 + 3}$

$y= \frac{51}{7}$

Hence

$W(\frac{9}{7},\frac{51}{7} )$
