Answer:

6.08 or so

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is 1 foot, while the length is 6 feet.

You can use the Pythagorean Theorum to solve this, as you plug in the values.

The theorum states that A squared plus B squared = C squared, where A is  the length, and B is the width. (It doesn't matter if A is the width and B is the length either.)

So if we plug in the values:

1 squared plus 6 squared = C squared.

1 + 36 = 37

Since it is C squared, we can find the square root of 37, which is something like 6.0827625302982196889996842452021.

So usually we round to the hundredths place, so we can use 6.08.

we know that

1 ft--------> is equals to 12 in

the ramp is 12 inches tall----------> 1 ft tall

A ramp measures------------------>  6 ft long

applying the Pythagorean theorem

c²=a²+b²

where

c-----> 6 ft long

a----> horizontal distance

b-----> 1 ft tall

a²=c²-b²------> a²=6²-1²-----> a²=35------> a=√35------> a=5.92 ft

the answer is

5.92 ft

a stock was selling at $120 per share. a month later, it was selling at $150 per share. what is the percent increase?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find percent increase is 100 * \frac{final-initial}{|initial|}. We're given the initial value as 120 and the final value as 150.

  • 100*\frac{150-120}{|120|}
  • 100*\frac{30}{120}
  • 100*\frac{1}{4}
  • 100/4
  • 25

Therefore, the percent increase is 25%.
