Sorry that really confusing but i like your hand writing you did a really good job
Hey there! :D
Think of this like a triangle. The dock is 15 feet above ground. It is the side of the triangle. The line connecting the bottom of the dock to the base of the conveyor belt is 40 feet. This is like the base.
The conveyor belt itself is at a diagonal, and should be the hypotenuse.
Use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2+b^2=c^2
15^2+40^2= c^2
225+1,600= c^2
Add the values together.
1,825= c^2
Find the square root of 1,825.
c= 42.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
The conveyor belt is 42.7 feet long.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
F. 3 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5b - 1/2 = 1 4/5
Add 1/2 to both sides. To do this make the 4/5 have a common denominator of 10 by multiplying it by 2/2. Make 1/2 have a common den. of 10 by multiplying it by 5/5.
- 4/5 * 2/2 = 8/10
- 1/2 * 5/5 = 5/10
Now you can add.
3/5b = 1 13/10, which can be simplified to 2 3/10.
To isolate b, divide both sides by 3/5. This is the same as multiplying by 5/3 (reciprocal). First make 2 3/10 an improper fraction.
23/10 * 5/3 = 115/30
Simplified: 3 5/6
