Well is the length is 4 ft, and 1 ft is 12 inches we need to do 12×4, which is 48.
So now we know that the length is 48, and the height is 4, so it would be 48×4, which gives us our answer, 192 inches!
Pi/12 radians = 180/12 degrees = 15 degrees
tan(15 degrees) = 0.2679... (rounded)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths can be found by considering their ratio:
short : long = 1 : 5
The sum of the ratio units is 1+5 = 6, and the sum of the lengths is 144 inches. That means each "ratio unit" stands for (144 in)/6 = 24 inches of length.
The lengths are ...
1 : 5 = 24 in : 120 in
The pieces are 24 inches and 120 inches in length.

Equivalently, you can let s represent the shorter length. Then 5s is the longer one, and their total is ...
s +5s = 144
s = 144/6 = 24
5s = 5(24) = 120
The lengths are 24 inches and 120 inches.
