Answer:

9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use cosine to solve this, which is adjacent over hypotenuse. The ladder forms a triangle with the house, and the side you need to solve for is adjacent to the angle. You can set up the equation:

cos(50)=x/14

Then you multiply 14 by cos(50) and get almost 9 ft (rounding to the nearest tenth of a foot).

What is the constant of variation,k, of the direct variation,y=kx,through (5,8)
grigory [225]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form \frac{y}{x}=k or y=kx

where

k is the constant of variation

in this problem we have

the point (5,8)

so

x=5\\y=8

substitute

\frac{y}{x}=k

\frac{8}{5}=k

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

k=\frac{8}{5}
