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 .

mezya [45]
P(82 - q < x < 82 + q) = 0.44
P(x < 82 + q) - P(82 - q) = 0.44
P(z < (82 + q - 82)/7.4 - P(z < (82 - q - 82)/7.4) = 0.44
P(z < q/7.4) - P(z < -q/7.4) = 0.44
P(z < q/7.4) - (1 - P(z < q/7.4) = 0.44
P(z < q/7.4) - 1 + P(z < q/7.4) = 0.44
2P(z < q/7.4) - 1 = 0.44
2P(z < q/7.4) = 1.44
P(z < q/7.4) = 0.72
P(z < q/7.4) = P(z < 0.583)
q/7.4 = 0.583
q = 0.583 x 7.4 = 4.31

viva [34]

Answer:

The least value plotted on the line plot is 18.0

The greatest value plotted on the line plot is 22.0

The height of inches occurs the most often is 19.5 with 3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

A line plot is a graph that shows frequency (the number of times the data value occur) of data along a number line.

The line plot has dots plotted on it over each value of the number line.

Q#1:The volume of a cube is 46656 cubic metres.Find the length of each side?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To find the cube root of a number prime factorize

46656 = 2*2*2*2*2*2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3

\sqrt[3]{46656}=\sqrt[3]{2*2*2*2*2*2*3*3*3*3*3*3}  =2*2*3*3 = 36

Length of each side = 36 m

Q) i) -512 = (-8) * (-8)*(-8)

-512 is a cube number

v) -17576 = (-26) * (-26)*(-26)

        -17576 is cube number

Lauryn’s wages were not as much as she had budgeted. How can her budget be modified so there will be a positive actual net incom
shutvik [7]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Her variable expenses can be reduced.

Explanation:

In a household budget, you have fixed expenses and variable expenses.

Fixed expenses are expenses that are the same from month to month, such as a car payment, rent, power bill, etc. These cannot be reduced; if you were to pay less on your car payment, your car would be repossessed; paying less than you owe on the power bill can result in your power being disconnected; etc.

Variable expenses are expenses that are different from month to month, such as food, clothing, shopping, etc. If you are dealing with a situation where your wages are less than you anticipate, you can reduce items within your variable expenses to make sure you have enough money. For example, you can purchase fewer clothes that pay period or cut your grocery bill down.
