The ramp when tilted forms a triangle with the ground and the wall in which it is inclining to.

The height of the top of the ramp from the ground is equivalent to the length of the side opposite to the angle of inclination. Therefore we can use the sine function in this case.

Let’s say,

Y = height of the top of the ramp from the ground

sin 45 = Y / 100

A rope of length 18 feet is arranged in the shape of a sector of a circle with central angle O radians, as shown in the

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$A(\theta)=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

step 1

Let

r ---> the radius of the sector

s ---> the arc length of sector

Find the radius r

we know that

$2r+s=18$

$s=r \theta$

$2r+r \theta=18$

solve for r

$r=\frac{18}{2+\theta}$

step 2

Find the value of s

$s=r \theta$

substitute the value of r

$s=\frac{18}{2+\theta}\theta$

step 3

we know that

The area of complete circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

The complete circle subtends a central angle of 2π radians

using proportion find the area of the sector by a central angle of angle theta

Let

A ---> the area of sector with central angle theta

$\frac{\pi r^{2} }{2\pi}=\frac{A}{\theta} \\\\A=\frac{r^2\theta}{2}$

substitute the value of r

$A=\frac{(\frac{18}{2+\theta})^2\theta}{2}$

$A=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$

Convert to function notation

$A(\theta)=\frac{162 \theta}{(\theta+2)^2}$
