Answer:

Length of the ramp is 79 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Height of the ramp = 11 ft

Angle between the elevated ramp and the horizontal base = 8°

By applying sine rule in the given triangle,

sin(8°) = $\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

= $\frac{11}{x}$

x = $\frac{11}{\text{sin}(8)}$

x = 79.03 ft

x ≈ 79 ft

Therefore, length of the ramp is 79 ft.

hjlf

Answer: 5 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 ( L + W)

18 = 2(L + W) divide through by 2

9 = L + W

9 - L = W

Area = L * W

20 = L (9 - L)

20 = 9L - L^2

L^2 - 9L + 20 = 0 factor

(L - 5) (L - 4) = 0

Set both factors to 0 and solve for L

L = 5 and L = 4

Inessa [10]

Answer:

3.98 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know the formula for finding the height of a cylinder

$h=\frac{V}{\pi r^2}$

Now That we know our formula, we just need to put in our numbers and simplify

$h=\frac{5000}{\pi 20^2}$

$h=\frac{5000}{1256.637}$

$h=3.97887$
