In order to meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements, a wheelchair ramp must have an angle of elevation of no mor

e than 4.8∘. A builder needs to install a ramp to reach a door that is 1.5 feet off the ground. What angle of elevation will this ramp have?
Is 25 feet long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirements? What angle of elevation will this ramp have?

Check the picture below.

make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

does it meet the requirements?  well, 3.43 < 4.8.

Answer:

a. The angle of elevation should be less than 4.8 ° since that is the maximum standard.

b. The angle of elevation is 3.4°.  25 ft is long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirement .  

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard required angle of elevation must have an angle of elevation not more than 4.8°.

A builder needs to install the ramp to reach a door that is 1.5 ft off the ground . The angle of elevation can be calculated as follows :

The illustration forms a right angle triangle .

opposite side = 1.5 ft

adjacent side = a

The angle of elevation should be less than 4.8 ° since that is the maximum standard.

Is 25 feet long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirements? What angle of elevation will this ramp have?

opposite side = 1.5 ft

adjacent side = 25 ft

∅ = angle of elevation

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan ∅ = 1.5/25

∅ =  arctan 0.06

∅ = 3.433630362

The angle of elevation is 3.4°.  

25 ft is long enough for the straight line distance of the ramp to meet the requirement .

Which of the following events are equal? (a) A = {1,3}; (b) B = {x | x is a number on a die }; (c) C = {x | x2 −4x +3=0 }; (d) D
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which events are equal, we explicitly define the elements in each set builder.

For event A

A={1.3}

for event B

B={x|x is a number on a die}

The possible numbers on a die are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. Hence event B is computed as

B={1,2,3,4,5,6}

for event C

C=[x|x^{2}-4x+3]\\solving  x^{2}-4x+3\\x^{2}-4x+3=0\\x^{2}-3x-x+3=0\\x(x-3)-1(x-3)=0\\x=3 or x=1

Hence the set c is C={1,3}

and for the set D {x| x is the number of heads when six coins re tossed }

In the tossing a six coins it is possible not to have any head and it is possible to have head ranging from 1 to 6

Hence the set D can be expressed as

D={0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

In conclusion, when all the set are compared only set A and set C are equal
