Answer:

  5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle for 12 inches of ramp length and the angle for 12 inches of run are very similar. Both are near 4.8°, so are 5° when rounded.

If we say 12 inches of <em>run</em>, then the tangent relation applies.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(α) = (1 in)/(12 in)

  α = arctan(1/12) ≈ 4.764°

The maximum angle is about 5°.

If your friend leaves your house at a speed of 8mph and two hours later you follow in your car at 40mph, how long will It be bef
dusya [7]

Answer:

  • 1/2 hour
  • 20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Your friend has a head start of (2 h)×(8 mi/h) = 16 mi.

When you leave, you gain on your friend at the rate of 40 mph - 8 mph = 32 mph. So, it will take ...

  (16 mi)/(32 mi/h) = 1/2 h

for you to reduce the distance between you to zero.

In that 1/2 hour, you have traveled ...

  (1/2 h)×(40 mi/h) = 20 mi

__

This is the same distance your friend has traveled in 2.5 hours at 8 mi/h.

In 1992, the countries Chad and Denmark each had population of about 5.2 million. However,
irinina [24]

Answer:

  5,339,479

Step-by-step explanation:

The populations in millions of the different countries can be represented by the equations ...

  c = 5.2(1.025^t)

  d = 5.2(1.001^t)

We want to find d when c = 10. Solving for t when c=10, we have ...

  10 = 5.2(1.025^t)

  10/5.2 = 1.025^t

  log(10/5.2) = t×log(1.025)

  t = log(10/5.2)/log(1.025)

Then the value of d for that value of t is ...

  d = 5.2(1.001^(log(10/5.2)/log(1.025)) ≈ 5.3394789

The population of Denmark is about 5,339,479 when the population of Chad is 10 million.

_____

If we round the number of years to 26.5 before computing the population of Denmark, we get 5,339,571 -- about 92 more people. Ordinarily, one would not round intermediate results.
