We first approach this problem by illustrating the situation. Refer to the diagram attached.
From the diagram, we can clearly see that we need to simply solve for the length marked x in order to find the distance between the foot of the ladder to the base of the wall.
Remember SOHCAHTOA. We can apply here the concept of cosine since we have the angle. Incorporationg x into the equation, we can simply make use of the relation cosine 72° = adjacent/hypotenuse.


ANSWER: The distance between the foot of the ladder and the base of the wall is 4.6 feet.
Answer:
y=-3x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
9=-3(1)+b
9=-3+b
9+3=3-3+b
12=b
Answer:
The y-intercept is (0,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u><em>x-intercept</em></u> is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
The <u><em>y-intercept</em></u> is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
In this problem we have that
The graph crosses the x axis at negative 10 and crosses the y axis at negative 2.
therefore
The x-intercept is the point (-10,0) and the y-intercept is the point (0,-2)
Answer:
22.919 or 23 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the theta or x in place of the usual angle. the lengths are adjacent and hypotenuse (a/h) so you use cosine. cos(x)=35/38 or cos(θ)=35/38
