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

Answer:

5.98

Step-by-step explanation:

2.99 * 1= 2.99

2.99+2.99= 5.98

First you had to multiply 2.99 by 1 because 100% in decimal is 1.

You get 2.99 and you add it to the original price.

And that is how you get 5.98

Complete the following statement: f(3)=_____
victus00 [196]
Using this equation, f(3) = 23.

In order to find the value of f(3), we need to take the f(x) equation and put 3 everywhere we see x. Then we follow the order of operations to solve. So, let's start with the original. 

f(x) = 2x^2 + 5sqrt(x - 2) 

Now place 3 in for each x. 

f(3) = 2(3)^2 + 5sqrt(3 - 2)

Now square the 3.

f(3) = 2(9) + 5 sqrt(3 - 2)

Do the subtraction inside of the parenthesis. 

f(3) = 2(9) + 5sqrt(1)

Take the square root

f(3) = 2(9) + 5(1)

Multiply. 

f(3) = 18 + 5

And add. 

f(3) = 23
