Answer:
The answer is 3 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
-There are 2 simple ways to do this.
-The first is just subtracting 3/4 and 1/4 which equals 2/4 or 1/2.
-The second way is to turn it into an improper fraction.
-(5*4)+3=23 and (2*4)+1=9.
-23/4-9/4=14/4
-14/4=3 1/2
Answer:
19%
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, QR is the hypotenuse of the triangle and PT is another side of the triangle. You can use phythagoras theorem to work this out. So squareroot 13-8. That should give your your answer
Answer:
2.02 m
or 2 m 2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine a triangle containing the 40° angle and that this angle is at the left. Then the height of the truck bed is 1.3 m and the "shortest possible length of the ramp" is the hypotenuse of this triangle. We need to find the length of this ramp, that is, the length of the hypotenuse.
The sine function relates this 40° angle and the 1.3 m height of the truck bed:
sin 40° = opp / hyp = 1.3 m / hyp
which can be solved for 'hyp' as follows:
1.3 m
hyp = ----------------- = (1.3 m) / 0.6428)
sin 40°
1.3 m
Thus, the length of the ramp must be less than -------------- or 2.02 m
0.6428
where this last result is to the nearest cm.
If the ramp is shorter the angle of the ramp will be smaller and the ramp angle considered safer.
