The length of the ladder is 75ft.

<h3>What is hypotenuse?</h3>

The longest side, or hypotenuse, of a right-angled triangle is the side that faces away from the right angle. The Pythagorean theorem asserts that the hypotenuse's square length equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, and this can be used to determine the hypotenuse's length.

<h3>According to the information:</h3>

The ladder makes an angle of 28° with the ground and the top of the ladder reaches 35ft

Therefore, we have:

Sineα = opposite/hypotenuse

Where:

Opposite = 35

Hypotenuse = Length

α = 28°

substitute values and solve for the length, as following:

Sine(28) = 35/Length

Length = 35/Sine(28)

Length = 75ft

Therefore,

The length of the ladder is 75 ft.

Please simplify the following trigonometric identity.

<u>Examining the question:</u>

We are given the expression:

\frac{1}{Sec(\alpha)-Tan(\alpha)}

We know from Basic trigonometry that:

Sec(\alpha) = \frac{1}{Cos(\alpha)}

Tan(\alpha) = \frac{Sin(\alpha)}{Cos(\alpha)}

<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>

Replacing these values in the given expression, we get:

\frac{1}{\frac{1}{Cos(\alpha)} -\frac{Sin(\alpha)}{Cos(\alpha)} }

Since the denominator of both the values in the denominator is the same:

\frac{1}{\frac{1-Sin(\alpha)}{Cos(\alpha)} }

We know that \frac{1}{\frac{a}{b} } = \frac{b}{a}, using the same property:

\frac{Cos(\alpha)}{1-Sin(\alpha)}

and we are done!

Answer:

13) Rectangle

14) parallelogram

15) co ordinates areD (0,a) andE (c,b)

16) co ordinates are D(0,b) and E(a,0)

17)(-1,1) (4,1) (-1,4)

18)(0,0) (a,0) (a,a) (0,a)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>13)</h3><h3>Rectangle</h3>

The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and equal

left height = right height

(by using distance formula)

(0,3),(2,-2) = (5,5),(7,0)

√(2-0)²+(-2-3)² = √(7-5)²+(0-5)²

√(2)²+(-5)² = √(2)²+(-5)²

√4+25 = √(2)²+(-5)²

√29 = √29 hence equal

<h3>14)</h3><h3>parallelogram</h3>

The opposite sides of a rectangle are not equal

left height = right height

(by using distance formula)

(0,0),(3,-4) = (3,4),(7,0)

√(3-0)²+(-4-0)² = √(7-3)²+(0-4)²

√(3)²+(-4)² = √(5)²+(-4)²

√9+16 = √(25)+(16)

√(25) ≠√41

5 ≠ √41

<h3>15)</h3><h3>co ordinates are D(0,a) and E(c,b)</h3><h3>16)</h3><h3>co ordinates are D(0,b) and E(a,0) </h3>

since rhombus have equal opposite sides

<h3>17)</h3><h3>(-1,1) (4,1) (-1,4)</h3><h3>18)</h3><h3>(0,0) (a,0) (a,a) (0,a)</h3><h3 />
