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

frozen [14]
The first thing we must do for this case is to observe the highest relative frequency of the table in the total column.
 For the white car we have:
 Male = 0.11
 Female = 0.20
 Total = 0.31
 The percentage is given by:
 (0.31) * (100) = 31%
 Answer:
 
The percentage that represents the car bought most often is:
 
31%

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x+2y=6?
LekaFEV [45]

first, we can find the slope from the equation that is given buy solving the equation for y

3x+2y = 6

2y = 6-3x

y = 3-3/2x

y = -3/2x+3

now that the equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily see that the slope of the given line is -3/2

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so we can just take the negative reciprocal of the slope we have

-3/2 → 3/2 → 2/3

the slope of the perpendicular line is 2/3

hope this helped
