Hey there! :D

Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base. 

The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse. 

Use the Pythagorean theorem. 

a^2+b^2=c^2

15^2+40^2= c^2 

225+1,600= c^2

Add the values together. 

1,825= c^2

Find the square root of 1,825. 

c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth) 

The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.

I hope this helps!

Kai had a gross weekly paycheck of $616 last week. Kai worked 6 hours for 4 of the days and 8 hours on 1 day. What is Kai's hour
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The correct answer is B. $ 19.25

Explanation:

To calculate the hourly rate of pay, first, let's calculate the total number of hours Kai worked, and then divide the total earned into the number of hours.

6 hours x 4 days = 24 hours

8 hours x 1 day = 8 hours

24 hours + 8 hours = 32 hours

This shows Kai worked a total of 32 hours. Now to find the hourly rate of pay, follow this procedure:

$616 (total earned) ÷ 32 hours = $19.25 each hour

This means Kai earns $19.25 for each hour of work and therefore the hourly rate of pay is $19.25.
