Answer:

7.96 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of ramp L = 8 ft

Angle with the horizontal (ground) = 6°

Applying trigonometry;

With the length of ramp as the hypothenuse,

The horizontal distance d as the adjacent to angle 6°

Since we want to calculate the adjacent and we have the hypothenuse and the angle. We can apply cosine;

Cosθ = adjacent/hypothenuse

Substituting the values;

Cos6° = d/8

d = 8cos6°

d = 7.956175162946

d = 7.96 ft

The building is 7.96ft away from the entry point of the ramp.

Nataly [62]

Answer: 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that WHUR Radio uses 1/5 of its of its 10 hours of daytime broadcast for commercial and 1/2 for music.

Hours used for commercial:

= 1/5 × 10

= 10 hours - 2 hours - 5 hours

= 3 hours

How to convert 18 gallons/1 hour to cups and minutes
Ne4ueva [31]
So there are 2 things you need to convert, the first is the gallons to cups and the second is the hours to minutes. so I like to set it up with numerators and denominators and then multiply the ratios. All same terms will cross out and be opposite of each other. 

(18 gal/1 hour) x (1 hour / 60 minutes), now we have (0.3 gallons/1 minute) we just have to change gallons to cups

(0.3 gallons/ 1 minute) x (4 quarts/1 gallon) x (2 pints/1 quart) x (2 cups/1 pint)

this comes out 4.8 cups/1 minute
