A ramp is used to load a snowmobile onto the back of a pickup truck. The truck bed is 1.3m above the ground. For safety, the angle of the ramp should be less than 40°. What is the shortest possible length of the ramp to the nearest centimetre? Explain why.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.02 m

or 2 m 2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine a triangle containing the 40° angle and that this angle is at the left.  Then the height of the truck bed is 1.3 m and the "shortest possible length of the ramp" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.  We need to find the length of this ramp, that is, the length of the hypotenuse.  

The sine function relates this 40° angle and the 1.3 m height of the truck bed:

sin 40° = opp / hyp = 1.3 m / hyp

which can be solved for 'hyp' as follows:

              1.3 m

hyp = ----------------- = (1.3 m) / 0.6428)

             sin 40°

                                                                                  1.3 m

Thus, the length of the ramp must be less than -------------- or 2.02 m

                                                                                 0.6428

where this last result is to the nearest cm.

If the ramp is shorter the angle of the ramp will be smaller and the ramp angle considered safer.

Answer:

Remember that the area of a square of sidelength L is:

A = L^2

And the area of a circle of diameter D is:

A = pi*(D/2)^2

If we inscribe a square in a circle, we will get four segments, like the ones shaded in the image below:

Notice that the diameter of the circle will be equal to the diagonal of the square.

And the diagonal of a square of side length L is:

d = √(2)*L

knowing that the side length of our square is 6 inches, the diameter of the circle will be:

D = √2*6in

Now, the total area of the four shaded parts will be equal to the difference between the area of the circle and the area of the square.

The area of the circle is:

A = pi*(√2*6in/2)^2 = (pi/2)*36in^2

The area of the square is:

A' = (6in)^2 = 36in^2

The difference is:

A - A' =  (pi/2)*36in^2 - 36in^2 = (pi/2 - 1)*36in^2

And there are 4 of these segments, then the area of every single one is one-fourth of that:

a = (1/4)*(pi/2 - 1)*36in^2 = (pi/2 - 1)*9 in^2

The area of each segment is:

a =  (pi/2 - 1)*9 in^2

if we replace pi by 3.14, the exact area will be:

a = (3.14/2 - 1)*9in^2 = 5.13 in^2

help me with this math question pls!! Find the value of x

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

using the mid segment formula since quadrilateral WZYP is similar to that of MZYT, this is expressed as;

29 = 1/2(23 +11x+2)

Cross multiply

2(29) =  23+11x+2

58 = 25 + 11x

11x = 58 - 25

11x = 33

Divide both sides by 11

11x/11 = 33/11

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

The polygon with an interior angle sum of 1080° is an octagon

Answer problem below

Answers

Answer:

A = 2, B = 1, C = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the line AB.

The slope:

m = (11 - 9)/(11 - 7) = 2/4 = 1/2

Since the altitude is perpendicular to AB, it has a slope of -2.

The line with the slope of -2 and passes through point C(6, 16).

Use point-slope equation to find the line:

y - 16 = -2(x - 6)y - 16 = -2x + 12y + 2x = 16 + 122x + y = 28

A = 2, B = 1, C = 28

Answer:

Solution given:

A(7,9)

B(11,11)

C(6,16)

Slope of AB=[tex]\frac{11-9}{11-7}=\frac{2}{4}=½[/tex]

since altitude is perpendicular to it .

so its slope becomes negative reciprocal to the slope of base

so

slope of altitude(m) =-2

now

equation of a line passing through C(6,16) perpendicular to its base is:

By using formula

[tex]y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})[/tex]

y-16=-2(x-6)

solve it

y-16=-2x+12

y+2x=12+16

in the form of Ax +By=C is:

2x+y=28

:.

A=2

B=1

C=28

----------------------

Explanation:

The idea is to complete the square for the x and y terms separately.

Notice the jump from step 3 to step 4 has the first 0 turn into 1-1, and the second 0 turn into 25-25. This is to help complete the square for each part.

The x^2-2x+1 factors to (x-1)^2 and y^2-10y+25 factors to (y-5)^2

Once we reach the last step, we have something in the form [tex](x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2[/tex]

Center = (h,k) = (1,5)

Which linear inequality represents the graph below?
(-2,3)
(0-2)
A. y<-{x-2
O B. y<-x-2
O C. ysx-2
O D. ys-x-2

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We can clearly see that the "rise" is 5 and the "run" is 2, which cancels out both A. and D.

2. The line is dashed, which therefore cancels out both C. and D.

3. Just by canceling out those two can help you see that B fits what is seen in this figure because option A. has the wrong amount of "rise" over "run".

The linear inequality can be obtained from the given graph (the nature

of the line and the feasible (shaded) region).

Response:

[tex]B. \ y < -\dfrac{5}{2} \cdot x - 2[/tex]

How can the graph of the inequality be determined?

The given points in the graph are;

(-2, 3), and (0, -2)

The slope of the line is therefore;

[tex]Slope = \dfrac{-2 - 3}{0 - (-2)} = \mathbf{-\dfrac{5}{2}}[/tex]

The equation of the line is therefore;

[tex]y - 3 = \mathbf{ -\dfrac{5}{2} \cdot (x - (-2))}[/tex]

[tex]y = -\dfrac{5}{2} \cdot x - 5 + 3 = -\dfrac{5}{2} \cdot x - 2[/tex]

[tex]y = \mathbf{-\dfrac{5}{2} \cdot x - 2}[/tex]

Given that the left side (below the line of the equation of the graph) is

shaded and the line of the graph is a broken line, the correct option is

therefore;

[tex]B. \ y < -\dfrac{5}{2} \cdot x - 2[/tex]

Martine grew at an average rate of 6cm/year for the first 18 years of her life. If Martine was 50 cm long when she was born, how tall was Martine when she turned 18?

Answers

Answer:

158cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Martine had the height of 50cm when born.

Every year she grows at an average rate of 6cm

So the the first 18 years will be 6cm × 18 = 108cm

She will be 108cm + 50cm = 158cm tall by the time she turns 18 years

50cm + (6 × 18)cm

50cm + (6 × 18)cm50cm + 108cm
