A ramp is 35 ft long rises to a platform. The bottom is 15 ft from the foot of the ramp. Find x, the angle of elevation of the ramp. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a degree.

The angle of elevation of the ramp is 64.60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of the ramp, L = 35 ft

distance of the platform to the foot of the ramp, d = 15 ft

The length of the ramp forms the hypotenuse side of this right angled triangle;

The angle of elevation of the ramp is in angle between the hypotenuse and adjacent side of the triangle.

Cos x =  adjacent / hypotenuse

Cos x = 15 / 35

Cos x = 0.4286

x = Cos⁻¹ (0.4286)

x = 64.62

x = 64.60°

Therefore, the angle of elevation of the ramp is 64.60°

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
