You're looking for the conveyor belt's length, so a sine would do the job.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Alright. Would it look like this..... 30/sin(60)?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yep !

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I got 34.64....... What's the next step... It says the belt moves at 75 ft.. @math&ing001

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

@mathmate

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

They're asking you to round your answer to the nearest foot in the first question.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Yes... It would be 35ft.. How do I calculate the minute the belt moves?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

35/60?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

velocity = distance / time The distance, you just calculated, it's 35 ft. And the velocity is given (75 ft/min)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

35/75=0.466 (0.5) rounded?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Yep !

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Thank you!
