Check the picture below.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

does it meet the requirements?  well, 3.43 < 4.8.

Answer:

a. The angle of elevation should be less than 4.8 ° since that is the maximum standard.

b. The angle of elevation is 3.4°.  25 ft is long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirement .  

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard required angle of elevation must have an angle of elevation not more than 4.8°.

A builder needs to install the ramp to reach a door that is 1.5 ft off the ground . The angle of elevation can be calculated as follows :

The illustration forms a right angle triangle .

opposite side = 1.5 ft

adjacent side = a

The angle of elevation should be less than 4.8 ° since that is the maximum standard.

Is 25 feet long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirements? What angle of elevation will this ramp have?

opposite side = 1.5 ft

adjacent side = 25 ft

∅ = angle of elevation

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan ∅ = 1.5/25

∅ =  arctan 0.06

∅ = 3.433630362

The angle of elevation is 3.4°.  

25 ft is long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirement .

Answer:

40 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, one is given the ratio ( 8 : 3 ), since a ratio is another way of writing a fraction one can rewrite it as; \frac{8}{3} (8) represent the number of students who want to learn about magnets, and (3) represents the number of students who want to learn about magic tricks.

In the problem, it is also given that 25 more students wanted to learn about magnets compared to magic tricks. If one uses the parameter (x) to represent the factor by which the fraction \frac{8}{3} is reduced, then one can get the equation;

8x = 3x + 25

Use inverse operations to solve,

8x = 3x + 25

-3x

5x = 25

/5

x = 5

Substitute back in to find out how many students want to learn about magnets,

8x

= 8(5)

= 40

Find the value of x in the following triangle​
ozzi

Answer:

x = 124°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

x = 180° - (32 + 24)° = 180° - 56° = 124°

A customer is late paying their renewal registration fee. The renewal registration fee is $142.16 and the late fee is 63% of the
Andre45 [30]
$124.56 because if you have 63% you change it to a decimal so it is not .63 and you multiply it by 146.16 and then add the 35 you get 124.56
