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 .

Which best describes the relationship between the lines? 2x – y = −7 2x + 4y = 2
seropon [69]

Answer:

Perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = -7

2x + 4y = 2

-y = -2x - 7

4y = -2x + 2

y = 2x + 7

y = -1/2x + 1/2

Cannot be:

Parallel because the slope would otherwise be the same.

Same line because the equation is not proportional

So, they are perpendicular because a perpendicular line would be a negative and a reciprocal of the current line
