Answer:

13.4feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up forms a right triangle.

Given

Height of the staircase h = 12 feet

Base of the stairs b = 6feet

Required

Length of the ramp l

Using the pythagoras theorem

l² = h² + b²

l² = 12²+6²

l² = 144 + 36

l² = 180

l = √180

l = 13.42 feet

Hence the length of the ramp to the nearest tenth is 13.4feet

A machine requires three hours to make a unit of Product A and five hours to
svlad2 [7]

Let A unit be a; B unit be b

a + b = 95

b = 95 - a

3a + 5b = 395

3a + 5(95 -a) = 395

3a + 475 - 5a = 395

-2a = -80

a = 40

a + b = 95

40 + b = 95

b = 55

Therefore, a = 40; b = 55.

Hope this helps

Lonnie plans to join the gym. He must pay a $35 membership fee. He will
mash [69]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope will be the constant amount that the cost increases by each month.

In this situation, 5 is the slope, because he has to pay $5 each month.

35 is not the slope, and is instead the y intercept. This is because this is the cost at 0 months, since it is the membership fee.

So, the correct answer is 5.
