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 height of a square prism is 3n + 1. The volume of the prism is 3n³ + 13n² + 16n + 4. What is the area of the square base of
EastWind [94]
If s is the side of the square base, the area of the square base is s^2.
The volume of the square base is,
V = (s²) (h)
s² = V/h
s² =  3n³ + 13n² + 16n + 4 / <span>3n + 1
You can do this division by factoring, synthetic division, or by plain division.
Factoring out 3n + 1 from the numerator gives you:
</span>s² = (3n + 1)(n² + 4n + 4) / 3n+1
s² = n² + 4n + 4

Therefore, the area of the square base is <span>n² + 4n + 4.</span>

MissTica
Diana's age=21 years

Andrew's age=2x years
21+x+2x=45
21+3x=45
3x=45-21
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8
2x8=16
Carmen is 8 years old and Andrew is 16 years old. Hoped that helps:)
