Advantage: #1 Almost 0 emissions (very low greenhouse gas emissions).
#2 They can be sited almost anywhere unlike oil which is mostly imported
Disadvantage #1 Nuclear plants are more expensive to build and maintain.
#2 Proliferation concerns - breeder reactors yield products that could potentially be stolen and turned into an atomic weapon
Well, Ecuador is a country filled with rainforests, which occur where it rains a lot, the western side of mountain ranges, where storms build up and stall, and it could be during el nino, which means a large abnormal amount of storms in pacific tropical areas.
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.
