Answer:

B. 14°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the length of the ramp

y ---> the high of the ramp

\theta -----> the angle measure the ramp makes with the ground

we know that

sin(\theta)=\frac{y}{x} ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

we have

y=2\ ft

x=8\ ft\ 6\ in=8+(6/12)=8.5\ ft

substitute

sin(\theta)=\frac{2}{8.5}

using a calculator

m\angle \theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{8.5})=14^o

The legs of a right triangle measure 6 centimeters and 8 centimeters. How long is the hypotenuse in centimeters?
klemol [59]

Answer:

10cm ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

This would use the Pythagorean Theorem. That means it would be -

a^2_b^2= c^2, in this case, you have 2 of your legs already so those two values would be a&b. you would stick those two into the equation and it should look like this:

6^2+8^2=c^2

then 36+64=c

and then 100=c

after that, you would take the square root of c to get

10!
