The length of the sky lift is 3.387.05 ft
Step-by-step explanation;
By an online search, i found that the sky lift
rises at an angle of 20.75 degrees.
Then we can think on a triangle rectangle, such
that:
One cathetus is 1200ft, this is the opposite
cathetus to the angle of 20.75°
The length of the ski lift would be the
hypotenuse of this triangle rectangle.
Then we can use the relationship:
Sin(a) = opposite cathetus/hypoteuse.
such that:
a = 20.75°
opposite cathetus=1200ft
then:
sin(20.75°) = 1200ft/hypotenuse
hypotenuse =1200ft/sin(20.759) =3.387.05 ft
The length of the sky lift is 3.387.05 ft

What is the measure of the angle of intersection when AB is the

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

<u>Option 90°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

AB is the perpendicular bisector of XY

The result of intersection will give 4 right angles

So,the measure of the angle of intersection when AB is the perpendicular bisector of XY = 90°

A rectangular prism has a dimension x units ,2x units and x+8 units . Which expression represents the surface area of the prism

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Formula to find the surface area of the rectangular prism is:

2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

where w is width, l is the length, and h is height of the prism.

Given, the dimension x units ,2x units and x+8 units .

So, we can plug in w= x, l= 2x and h= x+8 in the above formula to get the expression for the surface area of the prism. Hence,

Surface area= 2wl + 2lh + 2hw

=2*x*2x+ 2*2x*(x+8)+2*(x+8)*x

= 4x²+4x(x+8)+2x(x+8) (By multiplying)

= 4x²+4x²+32x+2x²+16x (Multiplying by distribution)

=(4x²+4x²+2x²)+(32x+16x ) (Making the groups of like terms)

= 10x²+48x (Adding the like terms)

So, the expression 10x²+48x units² represents the surface area of the given prism.

Identify the restrictions on the domain of f(x) = quantity x plus 2 over quantity x minus 3.

maria [59]

For this case we must find the domain of the following function:

$f (x) = \frac {x + 2} {x-3}$

By definition, the domain of a function is given by all the values for which the function is defined. The given function is not defined when the denominator is equal to zero, that is:

$x-3 = 0\\x = 3$

Thus, the domain of the function is given by all real numbers except 3.

Answer:

x other than 3
