Answer: 20.4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(image attached for reference)

To find how high the ladder reaches on the wall, first find the relationship between the angle and the wall. The wall is opposite to the angle, so it's possible to solve this equation using sin(58). Sine equals opposite over hypotenuse so sin(58) = x/24. Multiply 24 on both sides to get an equation that can be plugged into a calculator of 24sin(58) = x.

24sin(58) = 20.35, which gets rounded up to a final answer of 20.4 feet.

Please check my answer : Find the equation of the line that has a slope of 8 and passes through the point (-3,4). I got y=8x-20
Paladinen [302]
The answer is y = -8x - 20. If you were to use y = 8x - 20 then you'd get 4 = -44, which, obviously, is not true. To fix it all you need to do is add a negative sign in front of the 8. y = -8x - 20.

Round 71.491 to the place of the underlined digit which is the 4
TiliK225 [7]
When rounding the 4 you look to the right of the number, which is the 4, and if the number is higher than 5 you would change the 4 to 5. 
Therefore: 71.5
