Answer:

A)

Each landing is about 17 inches.

B)

The vertical rise from Floor 1 to Floor 2 is about 7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attachment below. (I accidentally wrote 30.30 instead of 30.20. Please ignore that and sorry for any confusion.)

Part A)

So, we want to find the length of \ell.

Note that the angle of elevation, the vertical height, and \ell form a right triangle.

Since the vertical height opposite to our angle is 10, and we want to find the adjacent height, we can use the tangent ratio:

\displaystyle \tan(x^\circ)=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}

Therefore:

\displaystyle \tan(30.20)=\frac{10}{\ell}

Solve for \ell. Cross-multiply:

\displaystyle \ell\tan(30.20)=10

So:

\displaystyle \ell=\frac{10}{\tan(30.20)}=17.1817...\approx17\text{ inches}

The landing space per step is about 17 inches.

Part B)

We know that there are a total of 12 feet of horizontal space total for each landing.

12 feet is equivalent to (12)(12) = 144 inches.

Since each landing is 17.1817... inches, this means that we have 144/(17.1817...) = 8.38... or about 8 steps.

Since the vertical rise of each step is 10 inches, the vertical rise from the 1st Floor to the second will be 8(10) or 80 inches or 80/12 = 6.666... or about 7 feet.

Graph the equations to solve the system. y= 2x+5 an 1/2y = x+5/2
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y= 2x+5

1/2y = x+5/2

Multiplying 2 with both sides will give:

2( 1/2y) = 2(x+5/2 )

y= 2x+5

As both the equations are similar with same slope m=2 and y-intercept= 5

thus the system of equation will have infinite solution. Graph will show single line.
