Since a right triangle has special rules to it such that the hypotenuse squared equals the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides. In other words, if the hypotenuse = c, and the 2 smaller sides are a and b, then:

Solving for c (hypotenuse), we get:

Therefore c is the root of the square of the other sides. So by having root18, it's like saying:

Getting rid of the square root, so sides a and b must have their squares total 18:
the only squares < 18 are: 16 (4×4), 9 (3×3), 4 (2×2), and 1 (1×1)
of those above added in any order of two of them, only 16+4



I HOPE THAT IS ALONG THE LINE THAT WAS ASKED FOR!!! :-D
According to the information given, the ramp would be 50 feet high. (However, that seems really high. Did you type your problem correctly?)
If you draw a picture, you will see that you can set up a cosine ratio to solve this problem. With a 30 degree angle of depression, the angle we are going to use 60 degrees.
We can set up the following equation:
cos(60) = x / 100
0.5 = x / 100
50 = x

Answer: 3/5</h3>
Work Shown:
3 blue + 3 red = 6 pens that are either blue or red
4 black + 3 blue + 3 red = 10 pens total
6/10 = 3/5 is the probability of selecting either blue or red
3/5 = 0.60 = 60%
