Answer:

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Horizontal distance (base distance) = 17 feet

Angle of elevation = 24°

Find:

Length of the ramp

Computation:

Cosθ = Length of base / Length of hypotenuse

Cos 24 = Horizontal distance (base distance) / Length of the ramp

Cos 24 = 17 / Length of the ramp

0.9135 = 17 / Length of the ramp

Length of the ramp = 17 / 0.9135

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Choose two positive integers a and b, making sure that a<5 and b>80 . The width of a rectangular computer screen is a inch
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Dimensions of the screen are a minimum of 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. The difference between the height and width will be 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = H

Width = H + a

Area = Height x Width

b = H * (H + a)

b = H^{2} + aH

H^{2} + aH > 80

H^{2} + aH - 80 > 0

a<5 means 'a' can be a = 1, 2, 3, 4

Solving for H for each option of 'a' will give values of 'H' using the quadratic formula below

H = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

As 'a' and 'b' must be positive integers, H and W must be positive integers as well,

a = 1, H = 8.46, H = -9.46

a = 2, H = 8, H = -10

a = 3, H = 7.57, H = -10.57

a = 4, H = 7.17, H = -11.17

Based on above possible answers:

a=2, H=8

W = H + a

W = 8 + 2

W = 10

Dimensions of the screen are a minimum of 10 inches wide by 8 inches high. The difference between the height and width will be 2 inches

What is the solution to the following equation?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

D. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE : <u><em>there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.</em></u>

suppose the equation is the following:

3(x-4)-5 = x-3

………………………………………………………

3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17

⇔ 3x = x + 14

⇔ 2x = 14

⇔ x = 14/2

⇔ x = 7

Question 6 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Quantity A because it changes with gravitational pull.

Explanation:

Mass defines the constitutive matter of an object. It is immutable (does not change). Although it could be converted into energy, the matter is constant.

On the other hand, the weight of an object (gravitational force) depends on the acceleration due to gravity.

That is why an astronaut weighs about three times more on earth than on Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is about one third that on earth.
