The nephew would need to use division to isolate x giving him $66.50 to spend
To answer this you have to use Pythagoras's theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Put in the values:
5^2 + 15^2 = c^2
Simplify it:
25 + 225 = c^2
Simplify again:
250 = c^2
Square root both sides:
15.8113883008 = c
So the ramp is:
15.8113883008 feet
Now round the number:
15.8ft
The above is the answer :)
(btw sorry in advance if you've spotted a mistake)
Doubling every 3 years, meaning 200% every 3 years.
The answer is 24 years.
Hope this helps. - M
