We know that

1 ft--------> is equals to 12 in
the ramp is 12 inches tall----------> 1 ft tall
<span>A ramp measures------------------>  6 ft long
</span>
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>c²=a²+b²
where
c-----> 6 ft long
a----> horizontal distance
b-----> 1 ft tall

a²=c²-b²------> a²=6²-1²-----> a²=35------> a=√35------> a=5.92 ft

the answer is
5.92 ft

Find the least common denominator for the group of fractions.<br> 5/12, 9/14, 2/5, 1/10
makkiz [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  420

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime factors of each denominator are ...

  12 = 2²×3

  14 = 2×7

  5 = 5

  10 = 2×5

The unique factors are 2²×3×5×7 = 420.

The least common denominator of these fractions is 420.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

  • 5/12 = 175/420
  • 9/14 = 270/420
  • 2/5 = 168/420
  • 1/10 = 42/420

Which strategy best explains how to solve this problem?
Rufina [12.5K]
This is a geometric sequence because each term is twice the value of the previous term.  So this is what would be called the common ratio, which in this case is 2.  Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a(n)=nth value, a=initial value, r=common ratio, n=term number

In this case we have r=2 and a=1 so

a(n)=2^(n-1)  so on the sixth week he will run:

a(6)=2^5=32

He will run 32 blocks by the end of the sixth week.

Now if you wanted to know the total amount he runs in the six weeks, you need the sum of the terms and the sum of a geometric sequence is:

s(n)=a(1-r^n)/(1-r)  where the variables have the same values so

s(n)=(1-2^n)/(1-2)

s(n)=2^n-1 so 

s(6)=2^6-1

s(6)=64-1

s(6)=63 blocks

So he would run a total of 63 blocks in the six weeks.

Select all of the following statments that are true
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. -¾ + 0 = -¾

B. -¾ - ¾ = -(¾ + ¾)

C. ¾ - ¾ = ¾ + (-¾)

E. -¾ + ¾ = ¾ + (-¾)

F. -¾ + ¾ = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check each equation to determine whether they are true or false.

If what we have in the both sides are equal, then the equation is true, if they're not, them it is false.

✔️-¾ + 0 = -¾

Add everything on your left together

-¾ = -¾ (TRUE)

✔️-¾ - ¾ = -(¾ + ¾)

Add everything on both sides together respectively

(-3 - 3)/4 = -(3 + 3)/4

-6/4 = -6/4 (TRUE)

✔️¾ - ¾ = ¾ + (-¾)

0 = ¾ - ¾ (+ × - = -)

0 = 0 (TRUE)

✔️-¾ + ¾ = ¾ - (-¾)

0 = ¾ + ¾ (- × - = +)

0 = 6/4 (FALSE)

✔️-¾ + ¾ = ¾ + (-¾)

0 = ¾ - ¾ (+ × - = -)

0 = 0 (TRUE)

✔️-¾ + ¾ = 0

0 = 0 (TRUE)

Multiple choice question please answer it for me

The answer is the second choice, or B; 240 ft^2.

You have to find the area of all four triangles and just add those all together. 

Two of the triangles have an area of 
5*16=80
Multiply that by two
80*2=160

The other two smaller triangles have an area of 
8*5=40
Multiply that by 2 also
40*2=80

Add 160+80 and the answer is 240.
