Safe wheelchair ramp specifications require about 4.75° maximum angle to be constructed with the ground. At a particular buildin

g, the owner is installing a wheelchair ramp that needs to rise 1 feet off the ground. The owner insists on constructing the angle with the ground at 3°. How much horizontal distance will the ramp cover with these specifications?

Answer:

The ramp must cover a horizontal distance of approximately 19.081 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertical distance (y), measured in feet, and the angle of the wheelchair ramp (\theta), measured in sexagesimal degrees. The horizontal distance needed for the ramp (x), measured in feet, is estimated by the following trigonometrical expression:

x = \frac{y}{\tan \theta} (1)

If we know that y = 1\,ft and \theta = 3^{\circ}, then the horizontal distance covered by this ramp is:

x = \frac{1\,ft}{\tan 3^{\circ}}

x \approx 19.081\,ft

The ramp must cover a horizontal distance of approximately 19.081 feet.

For (-7,3) and (5,3) the answer is 12. You add the different points, -7 and 5 because one is negative and one is positive. You do not add 3 and 3 because they are the same.

(3,-6) and (3,-10) = 4 because -6 and -10 are negatives. The answer is always positive.

(8,0) and (8,-8) = 8.

Rachel has a box in the shape of a prism with a square base. The capacity of the box is 150 cubic inches. The height of the box
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What do we know about that prism?

It's a rectangular prism with a square base.

Height: y (from question)

base length: x (from question)

base width: x (from question, since it's a square base).

Total volume: 150 cu inches

The question lacks a relationship between x and y the "is __ times", but we can see from the answer choices that they all show a constant relationship:

y = 1.5 x  

The volume of a prism is obtained by  multiplying the lengths of its 3 dimensions: V = length * width * height.  In our case, we then have

150 = x * x *  y

then we replace y by its x-expressed equivalent:

150 = x * x * (1.5x) = 1.5x³

then we isolate x³ by dividing each side by 1.5

x³ = 100, we do the cubic root on each side

x = 4.64

So, answer is D. x = 4.6 and y = 6.9

If you you 4.64 * 4.64 * 6.96 = you get 149.8, which is very close to 150.

A 7.5 force is applied to a football, causing an acceleration of 15 m/s2. Calculate the mass
faust18 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have the formula that F = ma

Given

Force (F) = 7.5 N

Acceleration (a) = 15 m/s²

Mass (m) = ?

Now

F = ma

7.5 = m * 15

m = 7.5/ 15

Mass = 0.5 kg
