<h3>Answer:  Approximately 56 inches</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The diagram is shown below. We know the vertical part of the triangle is 13 inches, which is the side opposite the reference angle 13 degrees. The adjacent side is unknown. We'll call it x. This is how long the base of the ramp is, which is the horizontal distance along the entire ramp. This distance is on the ground. The ramp itself is the hypotenuse but it seems like your teacher isn't wanting to know this value. So we'll ignore the hypotenuse.

We'll use the tangent rule to connect the opposite and adjacent sides.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(13) = 13/x

x*tan(13) = 13

x = 13/tan(13)

x = 56.309186365694

x = 56 inches is the approximate horizontal distance underneath the ramp

A group of five people are all working on the same mathematics problem. On the night before it is due, they call each other to d
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

<u>On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.</u>

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But  A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

                    = 10
