Question
What percentage grade should a road have if the angle of elevation of the road is 6 degrees? (The percentage grade is defined as the change in the altitude of the road over a 100-foot horizontal distance. For example a 5% grade means that the road rises 5 feet for every 100 feet of horizontal distance.)
the road should have an (answer) % grade

- The Ruler Postulate suggests that there are many ways to assign coordinates to a line. The Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales on a thermometer indicate two such ways of assigning coordinates. A Fahrenheit temperature of 32° corresponds to a Celsius temperature of 0°. The formula, or rule, for converting a Fahrenheit temperature F into a Celsius temperature C is C = -(F 32). a.What Celsius temperatures correspond to Fahrenheit tem- peratures of 212° and 98.6°? b.Solve the equation above for F to obtain a rule for converting Celsius temperamrcs to Fahrenheit temperatures. c.What Fahrenheit temperatures correspond to Celsius tem- peratures of - 40° and 2000°?arrow_forwardIf angle VST=(5x+23)° and angle VUT= (8x-49)°.
