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.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-12,6) and (-6,1)?

Answers

To find the equation, find the slope. To find the slope find the change in y/ change in x.

(1-6)/(-6+12)= -5/6

Then use the equation, y=mx+b, to solve for y int. First, substitute the slope in for m, and then choose a coordinate to substitute for y and x.

1=-5/6(-6)+b
1=5+b
-4=b

y=-5/6x-4 is the equation of the line.


there are 160 girls and 240 boys in a school
i. find the percent of girls in the school
ii. find the percent of boys in the school.​

Answers

Answer:

girls = 40%

boys = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Girls = 160

boys = 240

total students = 160+240

= 400

so,

percent of girls = (160/400)×100%

= (2/5)×100%

= 2×20%

= 40%

so,

percent of boys = 100% - 40%

= 60%

Answers

Answer:

1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can take into account that mean = sum / number of students. Therefore, we can find the sum of each group of students, as

1.67 = sum / 20

1.50 = sum / 16

1.40 = sum / 14

Multiplying each equation by the number of students in the group to isolate the sum, we get

1.67 * 20 = 33.4

1.50 * 16 = 24

1.40 * 14 = 19.6

We can sum these up to get the total sum of all three groups of students, resulting in

33.4 + 24 + 19.6 = 77

As mean = sum / number of students, we can say that

total mean = total sum / total number of students

total mean = 77 / (20+16+14)

= 77/50

= 1.54
