Given parameters:

Recommend wheelchari ramp slope  = \frac{1}{12}  

Rise of the new wheel chair ramp  = 22 inches

Horizontal length  = 24feet

Unknown:

Is the ramp steeper than the recommended  = ?

Slope is the ratio of rise to the horizontal distance covered

 Mathematically;

                 Slope = \frac{Rise}{horizontal distance}

Slope of the wheel chair ramp;

                covert 24 feet to inches;

        1 foot = 12 inches

        24 feet  = 24 x `12  = 288inches

Slope  = \frac{22}{288 }   = \frac{11}{144}

The two slopes being compared are;

               \frac{1}{12}  and \frac{11}{144}

The steeper of the first one 1/12. It has a higher slope compared to the second one.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 343434 units. Its width is 6.56.56, point, 5 units.
Andru [333]
This is annoying


the perimiter is 34 units
the width is 6.5 units


ok.
perimiter=2(Length+Width)
P=2(L+W)
solve for L
distribute
P=2L+2W
minus 2W
P-2W=2L
divide by 2
\frac{P-2W}{2}=L

given that P=34 units and W=6.5 units
\frac{34-2(6.5)}{2}=L


the equation would be L=\frac{P-2W}{2} or L=\frac{P}{2}-W

natima [27]
First, find out how many pounds in a ton. 2000 pounds are in one ton. It is 70 cents for 1 pounds, multiply that by 2000 to see how much it costs for a ton. It would get you $1,400. Next, multiply 1,400 by 5 to see how much it is for 5 tons. It cost approximately 7,000 dollars.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy was built between 1173 and 1350. A. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the yellow
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image of the leaning tower of Pisa, we can see that it passes through the point (7.75, 0) and (10.75, 42).

a) The equation of a line in slope intercept form is given by y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the intercept. Also, the equation of line passing through

(x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)\ is:\\\\y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)

Hence since it passes through  (7.75, 0) and (10.75, 42), the equation is:

y-0=\frac{42-0}{10.75-7.75} (x-7.75)\\\\y=14(x-7.75)\\\\y=14x-108.5

b) When the tower is 56 meters tall, i.e. y = 56, we need to find the value of x:

y = 14x - 108.5

56 = 14x - 108.5

56 + 108.5 = 14x

164.5=14x

x = 164.5/14

x = 11.75

When the tower is 56 meters tall, the top of the tower is 11.75 m off center
