2) An outdoor staircase has a total vertical elevation of 11 feet from the road level to the front entrance of a building. If th

e angle of elevation is 37 degrees and the landing of each step is 8 inches, answer the following questions showing each step of your work:
a) What is the vertical rise per step (in inches, rounded to the nearest whole inch)?


b) Find the number of steps needed to climb from road level to the front entrance.



3) A staircase of steps in a swimming pool has a vertical rise of 14 inches per step and a landing of 20 inches. Answer the following questions showing each step of your work:
a) What is the angle of elevation (rounded to the nearest whole degree)?


b) If the landing of each step is changed to 17 inches and the elevation of each step to 21 inches, what is the new angle of elevation for the staircase (rounded to the nearest whole degree)?

2a

tan37=r/8

r=8tan37

r≈6 in rise per step (to nearest whole inch)

2b

11*12/6=22 steps needed to climb the 11 ft to the entrance

...

3a

tanα=14/20

α=arctan(7/10)

α≈35° (to nearest whole degree)

..

3b

tanα=21/17

α=arctan(21/17)

α≈51° (to nearest degree)

Mr. Barber uses 7/9 yard of wire to put up a ceiling fan. He uses 1/3 yard of wire to fix a switch How much more wire does he us
Oliga [24]
1/3 is the same as 3/9. To solve this, subtract 3/9 from 7/9.

\frac{7}{9}-\frac{3}{9}= \frac{4}{9}

Your answer is \frac{4}{9}

Suppose for some value of x the solution to the equation 2.5(y−x)=0 is y = 6. What must be true about x?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, you input the value of y (y = 6) into the equation ( 2.5(y-x)= 0)

2.5(6-x) = 0

Open the bracket,

(2.5×6)-2.5x= 0

Collect like terms.

2.5x= 2.5×6

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x (2.5)

x = 6

So,

x= 6 is true.

.

Substituting 6 for x in the equation,

2.5(6-6)= 0

2.5•0 = 0

0= 0

Which is also true.

In ΔUVW, the measure of ∠W=90°, WV = 39, UW = 80, and VU = 89. What ratio represents the cosine of ∠U?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

cos ∅ = 80/89

Step-by-step explanation:

As required from the question the picture below represent a triangle UVW . The angle W = 90°. The sides WV = 39 , VU = 89 and UW = 80. The triangle forms a right angle triangle .

Such triangle one can establish trigonometric relationship using the SOHCAHTOA principle.

The question requested us to find the ratio that represent the cosine of  ∠U.

The ∠U is represented as ∅ .

Therefore,

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

adjacent = 80. The adjacent side is the non hypotenuse side that is next to the given angle.

hypotenuse = 89 . Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle and it opposite the right angle.  

cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos ∅ = 80/89
