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.)

Find the sum. <br> Homework: 9.4 arithmetic series
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a1 = 3(1) - 7 = - 4

a2 = 3(2) - 7 = -1

d = a2 - a1

d = -1 - (-4)

d = -1 + 4

d = 3

a60 = 3(60) - 7

a60 = 180 - 7

a60 = 173

n = 60

Sum = (a1 + a60) * n / 2

Sum = (-4 + 173) * 60/2

Sum = (169)*30

Sum = 5070

==================

Just to check, we'll use the second summation formula

d = 3

n = 60

a1 = -4

Sum = (2*a1 + (n - 1)*d )*n / 2

Sum = (2*(-4) + (60 -1)*3)* 60/2

Sum = (-8 + 59*3) * 30

Sum = (177 - 8)*30

Sum = 169 * 30

Sum = 5070

Same answer.
