Aramp in the shape of a right triangular prism is shown.
enter the height, in feet, of the ramp, y
me

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular face is a right triangle with hypotenuse 13 ft

Use Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

y² + 12² = 13²

y² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )

y² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = = 5

The height of the ramp is 5 ft

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
