In the given question, it is given that  ramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above the floor, and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet.

And we have to find the value of tan B.

And tangent of any angle is equal to the ratio of vertical by horizontal. That is:

tanB=8/15

And that's the required missing ratio for tan B.

Which equation represents a circle that contains the point (-2, 8) and has a center at (4, 0)
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Option 1:(x-4)^2+y^2=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given center = (h,k) = (4,0)

The point (-2,8) lies on circle which means the distance between the point and center will be equal to the radius.

So,

The distance formula will be used:

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^{2}} \\=\sqrt{(4+2)^{2}+(0-8)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{(6)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}\\=\sqrt{36+64}\\ =\sqrt{100}\\ =10\ units

Hence radius is 10.

The standard form of equation of circle is:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = r^2

Putting the values

(x-4)^2+(y-0)^2=10^2

(x-4)^2+y^2=100

Hence option 1 is correct ..

Pete traveled 1,380 miles in two days.The first day , he traveled 1.5 times as far as he did the second day . How many miles did
ahrayia [7]
Let s be the distance traveled the second day.

1.5s+s=1380

2.5s=1380

s=552

So on the first day he traveled 1380-552=828 miles.

In circle O, RT and SU are diameters. If m = m, what is m? 47° 52° 64° 87°
vlada-n [284]
From the given figure, it can be seen that 13x = 15x - 8 because they are vertical angles and thus are equal.

13x = 15x - 8
15x - 13x = 8
2x = 8
x = 8/2 = 4

Thus, 15x - 8 = 15(4) - 8 = 60 - 8 = 52.

RT is a diameter, which means that mRT = 180

mRV + mVU + 52 = 180

mRV + mVU = 180 - 52 = 128

Now, given that mRV = mVU,

Thus, 2mVU = 128

Therefore, mVU = 128 / 2 = 64°

Point E belongs to diagonal AC of parallelogram ABCD (labeled counterclockwise) so that AE:EC=2:1. Line BE intersects CD at poin
Svetach [21]

Consider two triangles AEB and CEF. In these triangles:

  1. ∠AEB≅∠CEF (as vertical angles);
  2. ∠EAB≅∠ECF (lines AB and CD are parallel and AC is transversal, then these angles are congruent as alternate interior angles);
  3. ∠ABE≅∠CFE (lines AB and CD are parallel, BF is transversal, then these angles congruent as alternate interior angles).

Thus, by AAA theorem, \triangle AEB\sim \triangle CEF.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional, then

\dfrac{AB}{CF}=\dfrac{AE}{EC},\\ \\\dfrac{AB}{CF}=\dfrac{2}{1},\\ \\AB=2CF.

ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB=CD.

Therefore,

CD=2CF and CD=DF+CF. Equate these two expressions:

DF+CF=2CF,

DF=CF.

This gives you that DF:CF=1:1.

Answer: 1:1
