The University of Central Florida is planning to build a new access ramp for wheelchairs at its education building. The main ent

rance to the building is 4 feet above the sidewalk level. The angle of elevation from where the ramp and sidewalk would meet is 8.1°. Determine the length of the ramp to the nearest tenth of a foot.

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.

C. Both options A and B will allow him to meet his goal.



Looking at Drake's situation after 4 weeks, he only has $470 saved. By his original plan, he should have had $500 saved. So he's $30 short of his goal and has 2 weeks until his originally planned class. If he goes with option A and takes the later class, he will save an additional $125 which is more than enough to make up the $30 short fall. So option A will work for him to save enough money for his class. With option B, he will save $140 for the last 2 weeks of his plan giving him a savings of $280 for the last 2 weeks. Adding the $470 he's already saved will give him a total savings of $470 + $280 = $750 which is enough for him to attend his class. So option B will also allow Drake to attend his desired class. Both options A and B allow him to meet his goal. Hence, the answer is "c".

A.
the y intercept is where x=0
x represents the number of months
when the number of months is 0, that is the initial number of games won

that looks to be a little below y=2, so maybe y=1.8?
the y intercept is y≈1.8
it represents the number of games won with 0 months of practice



B.
we can use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
we know the y intercept
find the slope
slope=rise/run
the I'm going from x=0 to x=10
the rise is about 18.95 (from 1.8 to 20.75)
the run is 10
so slope would be 18.95/10=1.895

the equation would be y=1.895x+1.8
the points were (0,1.8) and (10,20.75)
