Answer:

The height of the ramp is 1.39 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

A wheelchair ramp is 8.0 m long

The angle of inclination is 10°

It is required to find the rise of the ramp.

Here, hypotenuse is 8 m and angle of inclination is 10°.

Using trigonometry to find it.

$\sin\theta=\dfrac{x}{8}$

x is rise of the ramp

$x=\sin(8)\times 10\\\\x=1.39\ m$

So, the height of the ramp is 1.39 m.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:the function representing profit, P = 3n + 200

Step-by-step explanation:

The function C = 2n + 200 represents his costs, in dollars, for producing n jars of salsa.

The revenue, or the amount he receives for selling n jars, can be represented by the function R = 5n.

Profit = revenue - cost or expenses.

Therefore,

The function representing Dominic's profit, P, for selling n jars of salsa will be

P = 5n - 2n + 200 = 3n + 200

Urgent!! Will mark brainliest!!

Answer:

1) x is negative and y is positive ⇒ last answer

2) cotФ = -12/35 ⇒ second answer

3) The right identity is cot²Ф - csc²Ф = -1 ⇒ last answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* For any point (x , y) lies on the terminal side of the angle Ф

in standard position

* x = cosФ and y = sinФ

- If Ф in the first quadrant, then x , y are positive

∴ All trigonometry functions are positive

- If Ф in the second quadrant, then x is negative , y is positive

∴ sinФ only is positive

- If Ф in the third quadrant, then x is negative , y is negative

∴ tanФ only is positive

- If Ф in the fourth quadrant, then x is positive , y is negative

∴ cosФ only is positive

* Lets solve the problems

∵ Ф = 3π/4 ⇒ (135°)

∴ It lies on the second quadrant

∴ x is negative and y is positive

* Lets revise the reciprocal of sinФ, cosФ and tanФ

- cscФ = 1/sinФ

- secФ = 1/cosФ

- cotФ = 1/tanФ

∵ secФ = -37/12

∴ cosФ = -12/37

∵ π/2 < Ф < π

∴ Ф lies on the second quadrant

∴ cotФ is negative values

∵ tan²Ф = sec²Ф - 1

∵ secФ = -37/12

∴ tan²Ф = (-37/12)² - 1 = 1225/144 ⇒ take√ for both sides

∴ tanФ = ± 35/12

∵ cotФ = ± 12/35

∵ cotФ is negative value

∴ cotФ = -12/35

* In the standard position of the angle Ф the terminal

of it lies on the unit circle O

- By using Pythagorean theorem

∵ x² + y² = 1

∵ x = cosФ and y = sinФ

∴ cos²Ф + sin²Ф = 1 ⇒ (1)

∴ cos²Ф = 1 - sin²Ф

∴ sin²Ф = 1 - cos²Ф

* Divide (1) by cos²Ф

∴ cos²Ф/cos²Ф + sin²Ф/cos²Ф = 1/cos²Ф

* Remember sin²Ф/cos²Ф = tan²Ф and 1/cos²Ф = sec²Ф

∴ 1 + tan²Ф = sec²Ф ⇒ (2) ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ tan²Ф = sec²Ф - 1 ⇒ subtract sec²Ф from both sides

∴ tan²Ф - sec²Ф = -1

* Divide (1) by sin²Ф

∴ cos²Ф/sin²Ф + sin²Ф/si²Ф = 1/sin²Ф

* Remember cos²Ф/sin²Ф = cot²Ф and 1/sin²Ф = csc²Ф

∴ cot²Ф + 1 = csc²Ф ⇒ (3) ⇒ subtract 1 from both sides

∴ cot²Ф = csc²Ф - 1 ⇒ subtract csc²Ф from both sides

∴ cot²Ф - csc²Ф = -1

* The right identity is cot²Ф - csc²Ф = -1

Figure ABCD is a parallelogram.

bogdanovich [222]

A = C (congruent angles)

Then: 4p+12 = 36

Solve for p

4p = 36 - 12

4p = 24

4p/4 = 24/4

p = 6

Answer is going to be A.

Joe is at the ice cream shop, and his house is 10 blocks north of the shop. The park is 10 blocks south of the ice cream shop. W

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The distance between the ice cream shop and Joe's house is the same as the distance between the ice cream shop and the park. So Joe is not closer to the park or his house, he is in the middle.

Step-by-step explanation:

We consider that the ice cream shop is the zero value in the number line. We assume that going north is positive (right side of the number line) and going south is negative (left side of the number line).

The house position is 10 block north of the ice cream shop, so it is represented by the integer 10.

The park is 10 blocks south of the ice cream shop, so it is represented by the integer -10.

The lower absolute value of the integer, the closer position from the ice cream shop.

If we calculate the absollute value of the House position:

|10|=10

Then, we calculate the the absollute value of the Parkposition

|-10|=10

In conclusion, the distance between the ice cream shop and Joe's house is the same as the distance between the ice cream shop and the park. Joe is in the middle.
