Answer:

The length of the sloping section of the ramp is 20.12 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the total height of the bank, h = 2.8 m

The slope of the ramp must be 8° to the horizontal, i.e, θ = 8°

Let the length of the sloping section = L

let the horizontal distance between the height of the bank and sloping section = b

Thus, h, L and b forms three sides of a right angled-triangle, with L as the hypotenuse side, h  (height of the triangle) as the opposite side and b  (base of the triangle) as the adjacent side.

We determine L by applying the following formula;

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin θ = h / L

L = h / Sin θ

L = 2.8 / Sin 8

L = 2.8 / 0.13917

L = 20.12 m

Therefore, the length of the sloping section of the ramp is 20.12 m

Stan has made a $125.30 monthly deposit into an account that pays 1.5% interest, compounded monthly, for 35 years. He would now
MissTica
The future value of a monthly deposit A=125.30 at annual interest i=0.015 per annum for n=35 years compounded monthly is given by
FV=A((1+i/12)^(12*n)-1)/(i/12)
=125.30(1+0.015/12)^(12*35)/(0.015/12)
=$69156.05

The annuity formula is given by
Payment = r(PV)/(1-(1+r)^(-n))
where
r=interest rate per period = 0.015/12
PV= $69156.05
n=20*12=240
so
Payment = (0.015/12)<span>69156.05/(1-(1+0.015/12)^(-240))
= $333.71  per month.</span>

Leokris [45]

Answer:

57,505,708 x .165 =9488441.82 NA

57,505,708 x .3 = 17251712.4  Asia

17251712.4  - 9488441.82 = 7763270.58

That's how much larger asia is than north america

Peter leaves his house and walks 15 meters south, then turns east and walks another 15 meters. How far is he from his house? Rou
Varvara68 [4.7K]
When Peter does this, he is creating two sides of a right-angle triangle. The distance from his house to that point will be the hypotenuse of the triangle thus, to work out the length of the hypotenuse, we have to use Pythagoras Theorem! So:

a² + b² = c²
15² + 15² = c²
225 + 225 = c²
450 = c²
15√2 = c
21.21320344 = c

So, this rounded to the nearest tenth would be:

21.2 meters !
