Using the formula a^2+b^2=c^2you can fill in the numbers so that a=height of mattress in inches,b=40 inches or distance from base of the bed and c=48 or length of the ramp. a^2+40^2=48^2a^2+1600=2304
So then it becomes2304-1600=a^2704=a^2 26.5+=aSo, The top of the mattress(after rounding) is 26.5 inches off the ground.

Which unit rates would be appropriate for describing the rate of growth of a tree?
IRISSAK [1]
<span>I got two answers is that okay? The question said to select each correct answer implying that there could be more than one.



inches per year - this could make sense as well because you could easily measure the number of inches a tree grew in a year. 

millimeters per week- I suppose this makes sense how fast the specific tree grew. So, if you are alllowed to pick two answers I think you could make a strong case to your teacher that this unit has the potential to be logical rate unit for tree growth. 

milliliters per minute - NO. I think that this would be an illogical rate unit to use for trees because their growth is so slow that it wouldn't change by a measurable amount in just a minuet.  

miles per hour - NO. Trees do not grow fast enough for this to be a logical unit rate to use. </span>

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

16.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

If area triples every year :

This means that :

With an initial area of 10;

Area at the end of the year = 3 * 10 = 30

Percentage increase per year :

(30 - 10) / 10 * 100%

(20 / 10) * 100%

2 * 100%

= 200% per year

Therefore, monthly increase %

Yearly % increase ÷ number of months in a year

200% ÷ 12

= 16.666666%

= 16.67%
