How many ft equal a ton?

feet are length , ton is weight


My dad's head needs to be at a 33 degree angle from the flat bed. I need to purchase a foam rubber wedge for him to sleep on. How many inches thick should the wedge be to accomplish the 33 degree angl?

That depends on how long it is. The thickness should be just about 0.65 x the length to make a 33 degree angle.


A giant wooden cube is painted green an all six sides and then cut into 125 identical smaller cubes How many of there smaller cubers are painted green on exactly two faces?

The cube has a side 5 units in length. The middle three on each edge will have two green sides, there are 12 non-overlapping edges so the answer is 36. (3 sides = 8, 1 side = 54, no paint 27)


What are some careers that use trigonometry?

Surveyors use trigonmetry to find the exact height, length, and/or width of man-made and/or natural objects without having to measure it all manually. I think, to get the angle, they use a special gun thing that they point at the end of the object, which works it all out, then they just have to measure the distance they are from the object. After that its up to their trigonometry skills, and if they're good, then they should find the almost exact length, height, and/or width. There are so many jobs that use trigonometry -> an architect, Crime Scene Investigators, any job dealing with outer space (astronomers, physicist, astronauts, the men that guide the astronauts, etc), carpenter, machinist, engineering (mechanical, computer, chemical, civil, aeronautical, industrial, etc.), any job involving navigation (pilots -- air and sea), computer game creators. The list could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.


If you were to travel through an angle of 8 degrees across the surface of the earth through how many kilometers would you have traveled?

It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km. At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km. Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.
