One end of a ramp is raised to the back of a truck 5 feet above the ground. 1 point

Answer:

38.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

You are basically looking at a triangle with a 90° angle (check picture).

Since we are looking for the ramp's angle and are given the length of the opposite and the hypothenuse, we have to solve the following equation:

sin (\alpha) = opposite / hypothenuse= 5 ft/8ft

which is equivalent to

\alpha = sin^{-1}(5/8)\approx 38.7\deg

All sides of a square and a pentagon are 9 inches long. Are their perimeters the same? Explain
EastWind [94]


No they wouldn't be the same because, the perimeter is adding all sides.

The square has 4 sides so you would add 9, four times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36

And a pentagon has 5 sides so you would add 9, five times.

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45

So, they are not the same.

Hope this helps. :)

Which system of inequalities is represented by the graph?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The system of inequalities " x + 2 y ≤ 5 and 3 x + y ≤ 4 " is represented by the graph ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer let us find the equation of each line

Blue line:

∵ The line passes through points (5 , 0) and (0 , 2.5)

- Find the slope of the line

∵ m = Δy/Δx

∴ \frac{0-2.5}{5-0}=\frac{-2.5}{5}

∴ m = -0.5

- The form of the equation is y = m x  + b, where b is the

   y-intercept (value y at x = 0)

∵ y = 2.5 at x = 0

∴ b = 2.5

- Write the equation of the line

∴ y = - 0.5 x + 2.5

- Multiply both sides by 2

∴ The equation of the blue line is 2 y = - x + 5

- The shading is under the line and the line is solid, that means

  2 y is less than or equal - x + 5

∴ The inequality of the blue line is 2 y ≤ - x + 5

Red line:

∵ The line passes through points (3 , -5) and (0 , 4)

- Find the slope of the line

∴ m=\frac{-5-4}{3-0}=\frac{-9}{3}

∴ m = -3

∵ y = 4 at x = 0

∴ b = 4

- Write the equation of the line

∴ y =  -3 x + 4

∴ The equation of the red line is y = -3 x + 4

- The shading is below the line and the line is solid, that means

  y is less than or equal -3 x + 4

∴ The inequality of the red line is y ≤ -3 x + 4

Let us find which answer is the same with this system of inequalities

∵ 2 y ≤ - x + 5

- Add x to both sides

∴ x + 2 y ≤ 5 ⇒ same as the first inequality of answer D

∵ y ≤ -3 x + 4

- Add 3 x to both sides

∴ 3 x + y ≤ 4 ⇒ same as the second inequality of answer D

The system of inequalities " x + 2 y ≤ 5 and 3 x + y ≤ 4" is represented by the graph

A plane flies at a steady rate of 40 mph while a second plane flies at a steady rate of 100 mph. The planes are 200 miles apart
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

1\ \text{hour}\ 25\ \text{minutes and }12\ \text{seconds}

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined distance that both planes will cover is 200 miles

Time taken by both planes will be the same (t)

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

So, the combined distance is

40t+100t=200\\\Rightarrow 140t=200\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{200}{140}\\\Rightarrow t=1.42\ \text{hours}=1\ \text{hour}\ 25\ \text{minutes and }12\ \text{seconds}

They will meet in 1\ \text{hour}\ 25\ \text{minutes and }12\ \text{seconds}.
