Answer:

0.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using the Trigonometric function of Tangent.

tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent.

Where:

Opposite = Height /Length of the ramp = ?

Adjacent = Distance from the base of the ramp = 4 feet

θ = 8.1°

Therefore,

tan 8.1° = x/4

Cross Multiply

x = tan 8.1 × 4

x = 0.5692843028 feet

Approximately = 0.6 feet

Length of the ramp = 0.6 feet.

If |lm and m&lt;6 = 4x - 15 and m&lt;7 = x+30, then m&lt;6 =<br> 35<br> 45<br> 39<br> 15
pentagon [3]

Answer:

∠ 6 = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ 6 and ∠ 7 are alternate angles and are congruent, thus

4x - 15 = x + 30 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 15 = 30 ( add 15 to both sides )

3x = 45 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 15

Thus

∠ 6 = 4x - 15 = 4(15) - 15 = 60 - 15 = 45°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that X is the number of months between successive payments

Cumulative distribution function of X is

F(x) =0, x

a) PMF of x would be

P(x) =0, x

b) P(3 ≤ X ≤ 6) =0.86-0.44=0.42\\ P(4 ≤ X)=1-0.44=0.56\\P(3 < X < 6) =0.6\\P(4 < X) =1-0.48=0.52
