Answer:

The length of the sloping section of the ramp is 20.12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the total height of the bank, h = 2.8 m

The slope of the ramp must be 8° to the horizontal, i.e, θ = 8°

Let the length of the sloping section = L

let the horizontal distance between the height of the bank and sloping section = b

Thus, h, L and b forms three sides of a right angled-triangle, with L as the hypotenuse side, h  (height of the triangle) as the opposite side and b  (base of the triangle) as the adjacent side.

We determine L by applying the following formula;

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin θ = h / L

L = h / Sin θ

L = 2.8 / Sin 8

L = 2.8 / 0.13917

L = 20.12 m

Therefore, the length of the sloping section of the ramp is 20.12 m

Marianna [84]
Hi Kay, the point-slope form of a line is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Substituting the given point, (6, -8), and the slope, -2, gives: y - (-8) = -2 * (x - 6) This becomes: y + 8 = -2x + 12

Is x=-2 a solution for the equation below?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

-7+x^2-3x      =       9+x-10

-7+(-2)^2-3*(-2)                   9+(-2)-10

-7+4+6                                9-12

3                   >                      -3

if we substitute -2 to x, answer is not equal
