The ladder and the wall it leans on are illustrations of right triangle

The horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet

<h3>How to determine the horizontal distance?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Length (L) = 26 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 78 degrees

The horizontal distance (D) is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = D/L

Substitute known values

cos(78) = D/26

Make D the subject

D = 26 * cos(78)

Multiply

D = 5.41

Hence, the horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet

The assembly of a machine takes 3/4 hour there are 12 steps in the assembly process what is the average time for each step
S_A_V [24]
We can solve this two different ways. I'll do both, and you choose which one makes the most sense:
We can divide the fraction 3/4 by 12. remember, when we divide fractions, we flip the second fraction and change the sign to multiplication:
3/4 ÷12     [starting equation]
3/4 x 1/12  [flip and change sign]
3/48    [now reduce]
1/16 Each step takes 1/16 of an hour. 
1/16 x 60 = 3 3/4, or 3.75 minutes

Second way:
3/4 of an hour is 3/4 of 60...45 minutes.
Still, we divide out:
45 ÷ 12   [starting equation]
3 9/12    [divide with remainder]
3 3/4 minutes...3.75 minutes

The Robot Factory is a learning center where children can build robots. The project fee per visit is $18, and each hour of time
ipn [44]
The answer is 2 and a half. Because 18 + 6 + 6 + 3 is 33. This is because $18 to get in then $6 for one hour another $6 for an hour and $3 for an half hour.
