Do inclined planes help you use less force over a shorter distance?

It's either LESS force over a GREATER distance or MORE force over a SHORTER distance.

Why does the length of the parallel decreases towards the pole?

You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator. The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.


Adjacent sides of a parallelogram differ in length by 3 cm. The perimeter is 60 cm and the area is 45 cm2. What is the measure of an acute angle of the parallelogram?

Let the length of the shorter sides be x cm long; then the longer sides are x + 3 cm long Using the perimeter x can be found: perimeter = x + x+3 + x + x+3 = 4x + 6 = 60 → 4x = 54 x = 13.5 cm Longer side = x + 3 = 13.5 + 3 = 16.5 Using one of the longer sides as the base of the parallelogram the height (perpendicular distance between the base and its parallel side) of the parallelogram can be found from the area: area = base × height → 45 cm² = 16.5 cm × height → height = 45/16.5 cm = 2 8/11 cm Using trigonometry, the sine of the angle is the height over the shorter side which forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle: sin θ = (2 8/11) / 13.5 = 20/99 → θ = arcsin(20/99) ≈ 11.66° You could use the shorter side as the base in which case the longer side is the hypotenuse and: height = 45/13.5 cm = 3 1/3 cm sin θ = (3 1/3) / 16.5 = 20/99 → θ = arcsin(20/99) ≈ 11.66°
