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

What is the difference of the two expressions?
valkas [14]

<em>Answer is x + 12</em>

<em />

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Recall that you have to write clear questions in order to get exact answers. So I'll help you assuming that the two expressions are the following:

First expression:

2x+9

Second expression:

x-3

So the operation we need to perform is:

2x+9-(x-3)

Recall some rules:

(+)\times (+)=+ \\ \\ (-)\times (-)=+ \\ \\ (-)\times (+)=- \\ \\ (+)\times (-)=-

Hence:

2x+9-(x-3)=2x+9-x+3 \\ \\ \\ Combine \ like \ terms: \\ \\ (2x-x)+(9+3) \\ \\ \boxed{x+12}
