You are designing a skateboard ramp with a base of 12 meters long and 4 meters high. how long in feet is the incline of the ramp

Darina [25.2K]

To answer this question you need to use the Pythagorean theorem. First you substitute the values for a and b. Usually, the value of c represents the hypotenuse in this case c represents the incline of the ramp. As you can see in the following calculations we set a to be the base of the ramp while b is the height of the ram.

$a^2+b^2=c^2 \\ c= \sqrt{12^2+4^2} \\ c= \sqrt{160} \\ c=3.556$

We get that the incline of the ramp is about 3.556 meters however we can round it up to be 4 meters. The final answer needs to be given in feet, and 1 meters is 3.28 feet. Therefore to get the answer in feet we do the following calculations:
$4 meter * \frac{3.28 ft}{1 meter} = 13.12 feet$

Therefore the ramp incline should be 13.12 feet.

Momaday discusses the “irony” of the term “New World” (pars. 3–4). What are his reasons for this characterization?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer: N. Scott Momaday - who is a native American himself - finds ironic that white people claimed that they were arriving into the "new world" when in reality there were ancient civilizations already living on those lands, and this claim is one that they have continued to sustain up to this day.

When Europeans arrived in 1492, there were very large Indian populations scattered all across America with a rich history and culture, an element that vastly defers the logic of the discovery of a "new world".
