Answer:
5 kg is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
5 pounds = 2.26796185 kilograms
You need to set this up with a proportion and solve. 18/x-5 = 13.5/12.
cross multiply 13.5x-67.5=216
now solve for x
13.5x=283.5
x=21
the missing side is equal to 21-5, which is equal to16
The length of the support post is 40 ft.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, the height of the wall is 20 ft; support post forms 30 degree
Refer the attached image
Let us name the triangle as ABC where AB is the wall (opposite side) of 20 ft and
is 30 degree (
) and AC is the length of the post.
To find: The length of the post (AC)
we know the formula,
(trigonometric formula)
On substituting the values we get,

The value of sin 30 degree is 0.5
