Enrico installs a drain pipe that runs a horizontal distance of 172inches and drops 6 inches from the horizontal. is the slope of this pipe acceptable? explain.

am hella confused right

It's not acceptable because the angle of the slope from the horizontal is to small (2°), probably the pipe won't be capable to drain

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know that the drain pipe runs a horizontal distance of 172 inches and drops 6 inches from the horizontal, you have that this both distances form a right triangle (90 ° with the horizontal)

Then you have to calculate the slope by The Pythagorean Theorem:

slope^2 = (side1) ^ 2 + (side2) ^ 2

where

side1 = 172 in

side2 = 6in

Put in what we know:

slope^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2

slope^2 = (172)^2 + (6)^2

slope^2 = (172)^2 + (6)^2

slope^2 = 29620

slope =

slope = 172,105

Which is almost the same measure the the horizontal side (172)

You can calculate the inclination angle, which is given by this equation:

sin (angle) = opposite side / hypotenuse  (slope)

sin (angle) = 6 / 172,105

angle = arcsin (6 / 172,105) = inv sin (6 / 172,1051.9978798717 ° = 2 °

It is very small angle to drain

the answer is 24

1. sometimes

2. never true

3. sometimes

step-by-step explanation:

these are pretty self explanatory if you know what supp right and com angles are
