The ladder and the outside wall form a right triangle

The distance from the base of the ladder is 7.89 feet

<h3>How to determine the distance to the base of the ladder?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Length (L) = 18 feet

Angle of elevation (θ) = 64 degrees

The distance (D) from the base of the ladder is calculated using the following cosine ratio

cos(θ) = D/L

So, we have:

cos(64) = D/18

Make L the subject

D = 18 * cos(64)

Evaluate the product

D = 7.89

Hence, the distance from the base of the ladder is 7.89 feet

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

8=7t

Step-by-step explanation:

The table given shows that both variables are directly proportional to each other. That is, as s variable increases, y variable also increases.

Equation to represent this direct proportion would be:

8=kt,

where, k = constant of proportionality.

Let's find k from the table given.

Let's use any pair values of of s and t given in the table. Say, s = 21, t = 3

8=kt

21=k3

Divide both sides by 3

21/3= k3/3

7=k

k=7

Plug in k = 3 into :

8=7t

Hope this work!
