The Sine or Sin(θ) in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. The Height on the wall till which the ladder reaches is 21.148 ft.

<h3>What is Sine (Sinθ)?</h3>

The Sine or Sin(θ) in a right angle triangle is the ratio of its perpendicular to its Hypotenuse. it is given as,

Sin(θ) = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

where,

θ is the angle,

Perpendicular is the side of the triangle opposite to the angle θ,

The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle.


The height of the wall can be found by using the trigonometry ratios, therefore, the height of the wall can be determined as,

Sin(74°) = (Height on the wall)/(Length of the wall)

Sin(74°) = (Height on the wall)/22 ft

(Height on the wall) = 21.148 ft

Hence, the Height on the wall till which the ladder reaches is 21.148 ft.

I need the function for the volume of the box for number 1
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectanguiar shape like this one is V = L * W * H, where the letters represent Length, Width and Height.  Here L is the longest dimension and is 28 - 2x; W is the width and is 22-2x; and finally, x is the height.  Thus, the volume of this box must be

V(x) = (28 - 2x)*(22 - 2x)*x

and we want to maximize V(x).  

One way of doing that is to graph V(x) and look for any local maximum of the graph.  We'd want to determine the value of x for which V(x) is a maximum.

Another way, for those who know some calculus, is to use the first and second derivatives to identify the value of  x at which V is at a maximum.

I have provided the function that you requested.  If you'd like for us to go all the way to a solution, please repost your question.
