Algebra.Com's Answer #81563 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The most efficient operating angle for a certain conveyor belt is 31 degree. If the parts must be moved a vertical distance of 16 ft, what length of conveyor is needed? Round to the nearest tenth. \n" ); document.write( "Drawing given is a triangle: Right angle 16' opposite side 31 degree angle. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The length of the conveyor is the hypotenuse (h), \n" ); document.write( "therefore we can use the sine of 31 degrees (side opposite over hypotenuse): \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "sin(31) = \n" ); document.write( ".515 = \n" ); document.write( ".515h = 16 \n" ); document.write( "h = \n" ); document.write( "h = 31.1 ft\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
