Answer:

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Horizontal distance (base distance) = 17 feet

Angle of elevation = 24°

Find:

Length of the ramp

Computation:

Cosθ = Length of base / Length of hypotenuse

Cos 24 = Horizontal distance (base distance) / Length of the ramp

Cos 24 = 17 / Length of the ramp

0.9135 = 17 / Length of the ramp

Length of the ramp = 17 / 0.9135

Length of the ramp = 18.6 feet (Approx.)

Answer:

After 16 months, Kenya will have paid $5,550

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a guess and check type of a problem.  You guess a number of months, plug it into x, and see if both equations come out with the same answer.

 If you plug 16 into the first dealer's equation, you get y= 200(16) + 2350.  Solving this equation will mean y equals 5550.

If you plug 16 into the second dealer's equation, you get y= 175(16) + 2750.

Solving this equation will mean y also equals 5550.
