The distance between the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>

It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

As we can see in the figure the length of the ladder is 20 ft and the base of the ladder is 10 ft from the base of the building.

By using the Pythagorean theorem we will calculate the distance between the tip of the ladder and the base of the building.

H² = 20² - 10²

H²= 400 - 300

H² = 300

H = √300

H = 17.32 ft.

Therefore the distance between the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

We know that
in a right triangle
cos θ=adjacent side angle <span>θ/hypotenuse
in this problem

</span>adjacent side angle θ=38 in
hypotenuse=40 in

cos θ=38/40
θ=arc cos (38/40)-------> 18.19°-------> 18°

the answer is
18 degrees

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The answer is n < -7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to move all the numbers to one side:

(-5) - (-7) > 9 + n

-5 + 7 > 9 + n

9 + n < 2

n < -7
