A staircase is being constructed in a new house as displayed on the right. Each tread is 18 cm and each riser is 10cm. Determine the angle of inclination of the stairs.

29.1°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Riser, AB, Opposite = 10 cm

Thread, = AC, Adjacent = 18 cm

Angle of inclination, θ

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent = AB / AC

Tan θ = 10 / 18

θ = tan^-1(10/18)

θ = 29.055

Hence, angle of inclination is 29.1° (1 decimal place)

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
