Answer: The ramp would be 15.5 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.

Angle C shows the angle to be formed by the ramp from the ground, which is 15 degrees. Also, from the ground, it’s going to be four feet tall, which is line AB. The top of the ramp is point A, which makes line AC the entire length of the ramp. Since we have a reference angle (angle C) and two sides, the opposite and the hypotenuse, we shall apply the trigonometric ratio.

SinC = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 15 = 4/b

By cross multiplication we now have

b = 4/Sin15

b = 4/0.2588

b = 15.4599

Approximately b = 15.5

Therefore the length of the ramp would be 15.5 feet

A watermelon at the grocery store weighs 4.5 kg. How much does the watermelon weigh in pounds and ounces?
Alexandra [31]

We are given

weight of watermelon =4.5kg

In pounds:

we know that

1kg=2.2lb

so, we have

w=4.5kg

we can also write as

w=4.5\times 1kg

now, we can replace 1kg

and we get

w=4.5\times 2.2lb

w=9.9lb

In ounces:

We have got

w=9.9lb

we know that

1 lb=16 oz

so, we can also write as

w=9.9\times 1lb

we can replace 1lb

and we get

w=9.9\times 16 oz

w=158.4 oz.............Answer

19. Tom has 30 coins with a value of $3.30. If they are all nickels and quarters, how many of each kind of coin does
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

n = nickels, q = quarters

Equation 1: n+q=30

Equation 2: 0.05n+0.25q = 3.30

Step-by-step explanation:

From equation 1, n = 30-q

Substitute in Equation 2:

0.05(30-q) + 0.25q = 3.30

1.5 - 0.05q + 0.25q = 3.30

0.2q = 1.8

q = 9

Substitute in new equation:

n = 30-9

n = 21

It is important to note a nickel is worth 5 cents and a quarter is 25 cents. This helps us build the equations.

Four mathematicians, three physicists, and an engineer are to be seated equally spaced around a circular table. How many differe
Vesna [10]

First, we can choose the seats for the four mathematicians.  Then we seat the physicits, then the engineer.  There are 4! ways to seat the mathematicians, then 3! ways to seat the physicists, then 1! ways to seat the engineer.  But then we must divide by 8, because we can rotate the table, so there are 8!*4!*3!/8 = 725760 ways to seat everyone.
