Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve for this, we need to understand what a ratio is. A ratio is a comparison between two things. (in numbers) In this case, between pools and hours:
pools:hours
A fraction is also a ratio, in this case we have 2/5, which also compares pools to hours, so we can turn this into a more proper ratio form:
2 pools: 5 hours
2:5
<u>So, our ratio of pools to hours is 2:5.</u>
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.
<h3>
How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>
We can think of this as a right triangle.
Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse
We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:
90° - 42.51° = 47.49°
Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:
cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
Replacing what we know:
cos(47.49°) = height/16ft
cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft
Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:
height = 11ft
