Answer:

2.74feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can find the height of the plywood

Given the following

length of ramp = 8feet

angle of elevation = 20degrees

Required

Height of the plywood

Using the SOH CAH TOA identity

Sin theta = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 20 = H/8

H = 8sin20

H = 8(0.3420)

H = 2.74 feet

Hence the height of the plywood is 2.74feet

Notice the tickmark on the angles, those angles are equal to each other.

now, notice the angle at the very top, the large triangle is really sharing it with smaller-inscribed triangle, and therefore is equal on both triangles.

therefore, the larger triangle, is similar with smaller-inscribed triangle by AA.

what the dickens does that mean?

\bf \cfrac{large}{small}\qquad \cfrac{4+5}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies \cfrac{9}{4}=\cfrac{5+x}{5}\implies 45=20+4x
\\\\\\
25=4x\implies \cfrac{25}{4}=x\implies 6\frac{1}{4}=x

Each side of the pentagon is the same length. Is the shape a regular pentagon?
Ad libitum [116K]
If the sides of the pentagon are the same length, it is probably a regular pentagon. If the angles are all the same within the shape, it is definitely a regular pentagon.

Select all expressions that are equivalent to 4x+2(2x-5)-(3-5x)
Arada [10]

For this case we have the following expression:

4x + 2 (2x-5) - (3-5x)

Applying distributive property to the terms within parentheses taking into account that:

- * + = -\\- * - = +

We have:

4x + 4x-10-3 + 5x =

We add similar terms taking into account that:

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.

4x + 4x + 5x-10-3 =\\13x-13

Thus, an equivalent expression is:

13x-13

Answer:

13x-13
