Answer:

The angle that the ramp makes with the ground is 11.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the length of 17 1/2 ft corresponds to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, the length of 3 1/2 ft corresponds to the opposite side.

We can use the fact that the sin(θ) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} to find the angle that the ramp makes with the ground.

sin(\theta)=\frac{3.5}{17.5}

The angle is equal to

\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{3.5}{17.5} )\\\theta = 11.54\°

2 other decimal forms of 6.7​
Sergio039 [100]
Hi try

0.067

Explanation

6.7% = 0.067 in decimal form. Percent means 'per 100'. So, 6.7% means 6.7 per 100 or simply 6.7/100. If you divide 6.7 by 100, you'll get 0.067

The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.
Harman [31]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The amount of water is the dependent value.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.

As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.

Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.

(-12,-5);slope =1/3 write in slope -intercept form​
leonid [27]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3} - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

y + 5 = \frac{1}{3} (x + 12)

y + 5 = \frac{1}{3} x + \frac{12}{3}

y + 5 = \frac{1}{3} x + 4

y = \frac{1}{3} x - 1

Hope this was helpful :)
