If your average speed is 2.05 and your time is the average of .87+.94+.72=0.843 then your answer should be 1.728 because distance= speed x time. I don’t know if this is correct because you didn’t label what the numbers were but I hope this helped you!! :)
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)
The way to solve this question is to essentially reverse the equation I used in the other answer.
I would solve this with some theoretical values. If you start with 3, how long would it take for it to triple, or reach 9.
the equation would look like 9 = 3(2)^t/6, note how the instead of 1/2 it is now 2 in the parenthesis, as it doubles every 6 hours rather than halves every amount of hours.
When placed into an algebra calculator, the answer should be about 9.5 hours
