Answer:
You have a right triangle.
a^2+b^2=c^2
4^2+b^2=256
16+b^2=256
b^2=256-16
b^2=240
b=sqrt240
b=15.49 ft. ans. for the height of the ladder up the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3x^2 √xy
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient, 0.25, of the expression represents the late fee for every day the book was overdue.
And the constant, 2, represents the fixed rental fee.
The variable, x, represents the number of days Joseph had the book for.

Answer:
In fact, the AB could be calculated in a quickest way, using Pythagorean theorem. In here, we try to use the property of trigonometry to work out AB.
Before applying trigonometry, in this right triangle we can calculate the remaining angle C:
C = 180 - 90 - A = 180 - 90 - 53.13 = 36.87 deg
We can use cosine formula, but here we use the sine formula for the sake of convenience. We have:
sine(angle measure) = ratio of opposite side over hypotenuse
In detail, sineC = AB/BC
Then, we have: AB = BC x sineC = 15 x sin(36.87 deg) = 9.000002 = ~9 ft
Hope this helps!
