Answer:

7.96 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of ramp L = 8 ft

Angle with the horizontal (ground) = 6°

Applying trigonometry;

With the length of ramp as the hypothenuse,

The horizontal distance d as the adjacent to angle 6°

Since we want to calculate the adjacent and we have the hypothenuse and the angle. We can apply cosine;

Cosθ = adjacent/hypothenuse

Substituting the values;

Cos6° = d/8

d = 8cos6°

d = 7.956175162946

d = 7.96 ft

The building is 7.96ft away from the entry point of the ramp.

What is the area of this figure?
s2008m [1.1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

it clearly consists of 2 rectangles and 1 triangle (as you tried correctly to point out by drawing the separating lines).

we only need to calculate all 3 areas and add them up for the total.

the area of a rectangle is

length × width

so, in our 2 cases we have

6 × 2 = 12 km²

5 × (3 + 2 + 3) = 5×8 = 40 km²

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

in case of a right-angled triangle the 2 sides enclosing the 90° angle can be used as baseline and height.

so, in our case

6 × (5 + 2 + (3 + 2 + 3 - 2)) / 2 = 6×(7 + 6)/2 = 3×13 = 39 km²

in total, the whole area is

12 + 40 + 39 = 91 km²
