Cafeteria ratio of Swiss cheese to cheddar cheese is 15:17.

Perry’s ratio of Swiss chess to cheddar cheese is 5:7.

Wrong ratio because 5 * 3 = 15 but 7 * 3 does not equal 17.

For this case we have that by definition, it is known as proportion to the relationship of equality that exists between two reasons, that is, between two comparisons. That is: if \frac {a} {b}is a ratio, then the equality \frac {a} {b} = \frac {c} {d} will be a proportion.

Then, 15 cups of Swiss cheese for every 17 cheddar:

15:17\\\frac {15} {17}

We want to verify the proportion:

15:17 :: 5: 7\\\frac {15} {17} = \frac {5} {7}\\7 * 15 = 5 * 17

Equality is not met!

Answer:

You are not using the correct proportion

A 28 first slide at a waterpark makes an angle of 60° with the ground as it descends into a pool. What is a vertical distance fr
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The vertical distance from the top of the slide go the ground is 24.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the vertical distance from the top of the slide to the ground.

To answer this properly, we shall need the aid of a diagram. Please check the attachment for this;

Mathematically, to calculate this vertical distance, we shall be employing the use of a trigonometric ratio since the shape we are considering is a right-angled triangle

The vertical distance faces the angle given and we can refer to it as the opposite. The length of the slide refers to the hypotenuse

So the trigonometric ratio we are to use will consider the opposite and the hypotenuse

This is the sine

Mathematically sine of an angle = length of the opposite/length of the hypotenuse

let’s call the length of the opposite x

sin 60 = x/28

x = 28 sin 60

x = 24.248 which is 24.25 feet
