Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer: Angle A = 53.9 degrees
Step-by-step explanation: We have a right angled triangle with two sides clearly given and one angle to be calculated. If the angle to be calculated is angle A, then having angle A as our reference angle, line AC (10 units) is the adjacent, line CB is the opposite while line AB (17 units) is the hypotenuse. Having been given the adjacent and the hypotenuse, we can now use the trigonometric ratio as follows;
CosA = adjacent/hypotenuse
CosA = 10/17
CosA = 0.5882
By use of the calculator or table of values,
A = 53.97
Approximately to the nearest tenth,
A = 53.9 degrees
Answer:
This would bring you to $160.00. This is because you initially had $20.00, because of the $13 and $7. Then, your family gave you a total of $140.00, and 140 + 20 = 160.
Step-by-step explanation:
Either of two angles whose sum is 90 degrees
Answer:
(-2,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Turning the point 180 degrees causes the point to be reversed, or upside down, therefore the numbers will become negative.
