Using the formula a^2+b^2=c^2you can fill in the numbers so that a=height of mattress in inches,b=40 inches or distance from base of the bed and c=48 or length of the ramp. a^2+40^2=48^2a^2+1600=2304
So then it becomes2304-1600=a^2704=a^2 26.5+=aSo, The top of the mattress(after rounding) is 26.5 inches off the ground.

Division of two quantities is expressed as the ____ of those two quantities.
andreev551 [17]


Division of two quantities is expressed as the  quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient  is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers.  One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is  by employing the long division method where the quotient  value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.

elijah's credit card statement showed these items: Last Balance Payments Finance Rate New Charges $152.58 $45.00 1.5% $213.40 Wh
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Option A,$320.98  is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The new balance on Elijah's credit is the sum of the last balance plus new charges minus payments made.

last balance as shown by the statement was $152.58

new charges were $213.40

payment made by Elijah was  $45

new balance=$152.58+$213.40-$45=$320.98

The rationale for this is that the new charges on the card account add to previous balance owed by Elijah while the payment of $45 made reduces overall balance.
