Tommy and Erin are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long.

Answer:

Full question is attached.

Tommy's reasoning is wrong because the hypotenuse is not 5 feet.

A skateboard ramp resembles a right angles triangle so its sides resemble that of a right angled triangle.

The height of 3 feet would be the height of the triangle.

The length of 5 feet would be the length of the triangle.

The piece of plywood that would cover the top of the frame would be the hypotenuse.

In using the Pythagoras rule, the c is the hypotenuse but Tommy made the mistake of assuming that the hypotenuse was b which is where the error came from.

Instead of solving for b, they should have been solving for c which is the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

3² + 5² = c²

9 + 25 = c²

c² = 34

c = √34

c = 5.83 feet

They should use a plywood of 5.83 feet not 4 feet.

In what way does water scarcity harm the economic development of an area?
amm1812

Answer:

Explanation:

Agricultural growth is vital in an economy. An economy runs off people producing things. Water is vital for land in order to grow things. Farming is harder in deserts. No food, no people. There is a reason there are more cities near rivers and coasts than in deserts. Due to scarcity of water, economic growth is more challenging. Exceptional cases such as Las Vegas have a steady water supply from the Hoover Dam.

At which point does condensation occur in this water cycle diagram
joja [24]
The water cycle starts with ground water. As it is heated up by the sun it evaporates, (or transpiration happens on plants and trees) and then condensation occurs as the new clouds form. Hope this helps!
