To answer this you have to use Pythagoras's theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Put in the values:
5^2 + 15^2 = c^2

Simplify it:
25 + 225 = c^2

Simplify again:
250 = c^2

Square root both sides:
15.8113883008 = c

So the ramp is:
15.8113883008 feet

Now round the number: 
15.8ft

The above is the answer :)
(btw sorry in advance if you've spotted a mistake)

What is the mean, median and mode for...45,50,55,55,55,60,60,60,65,65,70?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Mean = 58.18

Median = 60

Modes = 55 and 60

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean/average, add up all the numbers and divide the sum by the # of numbers there are (ex. there are 11 numbers so divide the sum by 11).

The median is the middle number of a set.  In this case, the middle number is easy to see because the # of numbers is odd, but if it was even, just find the average of the two middle numbers.

The mode is/are the most frequent number(s) in the set.  In this set, the numbers that appear the most are 55 and 60.

A cone with volume 246 ft cubic if the height is 15 find the radius
Liula [17]

Answer:

r = 3.95 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h = 246 ft³

246 = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * r^2 * 15

r² = \frac{246*3*7}{22*15*5}

r = \sqrt{15.65}

r = 3.95 ft

50 POINTS PLS HELP!!!
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

1.) 90 ways

2.) 15,600 ways

3.) 24 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  Let's say   we are given 2 digits not equal to each other...The number of different orderings would be  2*1 = 2, or  if we wanted the number of ways to order 2 digits chosen :   10*9 = 90 ways

2.)   The number of ways to arrange 3 letters from 26 letters is:

26 Permutes 3  =    26! / (26 -3)!  =  26*25*24 = 15,600 ways to choose 3 letters in a certain order

3.) 4 different chores.  The number of ways to do them =  4*3*2 *1 = 24 ways
