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

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-2,-3) and is perpenicular to 2X -3Y= 6
Rufina [12.5K]
You should first of all rewrite the equation in slope intercept form. You should get y=2/3x-2. The perpendicular slope is the opposite reciprocal, in this case -3/2. You will use this slope and the point to write your equation in point slope form and then clean this up to get it into slope intercept form. You should get y=-3/2x-6

Which expression is equivalent to 8?<br><br><br> -48 ÷ 6<br> 48 ÷ (-6)<br> 48 ÷ 6<br> -48 ÷ (-6)
V125BC [204]
Expression 3, 
because 6 and 8 are factors of 48. Since positive 6 & 8 are the two numbers of choice, the product will be positive. My answer is reasonable because if you were to multiply positive 8 and 6 you will get positive 48.

The greatest common factor is 8 because Prime factor is 2 and 4, Number 48 is 4 and 1 Number 64 is 6 and o Number 72 is 3 and 0 which it would all equal 2^3  so 48 = 2^4 times 3 64 = 2^6 and 72 = 2^3 times 3^2 Hope this helps.
