Amy has three pieces of string of length 16 cm, 56 cm and 24 cm respectively. For an art project, she wants to cut the three len

gths of string into smaller pieces such that all the pieces are of equal length, with no string left over. Find the greatest length that each piece of string can be, in cm.

Answer:

<em>8cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  three pieces of string of length 16 cm, 56 cm and 24 cm respectively. To get the the greatest length that each piece of string can be if she wants to cut the three lengths of string into smaller pieces such that all the pieces are of equal length, with no string left over, we will have to find the greatest common factor for the three lengths

16 = 2 * 8

56 = 7 * 8

24 = 3 * 8

Since 8 is common to all the factors, hence the greatest common factor is 8.

<em>Hence the greatest length that each piece of string can be, in cm is 8cm</em>

A skate ramp is 4.2 meters long. It rises up 1.7 meters. What’s is the angle of elevation to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Explanation:
We view the ramp as a right triangle. The hypotenuse is 4.2 and the vertical side .7, which is opposite the angle
θ
we seek.

I'm going to finish the problem but I'll note if we were actually building the ramp we don't need to know the angle; this sine is sufficient.

which I think is a pretty steep ramp for a wheelchair.
There will be another inverse sine that is the supplementary angle, around

, but we can rule that out as a value for a ramp wedge angle.
