Assume that the angle is at the rear of the truck bed, and that the length of the truck bed is 12'.  Then:
          
                    opp side
tan theta = --------------
                    adj side

becomes:
                        8 ft
tan theta    = ---------    = 2/3 = approx.  0.667   
                       12 ft

Then tan theta = 2/3, and arctan (2/3) = 0.589 radian, or 33.7 degrees.

This is less than 45 deg, so the answer is NO, the clay will not pour out easily.

Answer:

x = 88.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle at the top of the triangle = 90° - 10° = 80°

and the left side of the triangle is x ( opposite sides of a rectangle )

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan80° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{500}{x}

Multiply both sides by x

x × tan80° = 500 ( divide both sides by tan80° )

x = \frac{500}{tan80} ≈ 88.2

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.<br> 45e -27f
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

9 (5e - 3f)

Step-by-step explanation:

45e -27f

45e = 9*5*e

27f = 9*3*f

The common factor is 9

9*5*e -  9*3*f

9 (5e - 3f)
