ANSWER:

2.33 foot

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can calculate the distance from the staircase to the wall, by means of the trigonometric cosine ratio, which is the following:

\begin{gathered} \cos \theta=\frac{\text{ adjacent}}{\text{ hypotenuse}} \\ \theta=75\text{\degree} \\ \text{ hypotenuse = 9 foot} \\ \text{adjacent = x} \end{gathered}

Replacing and solving for x:

\begin{gathered} \cos 75=\frac{x}{9} \\ x=9\cdot\cos 75 \\ x=2.33 \end{gathered}

The distance would be 2.33 foot

puteri [66]

Answer:

the square root of 55, or 7.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem, or  a²+b²=c², where a and b are the sides or "legs" of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.

a is 3, b is x, and c is 9

If you plug that into the equation, you get 3²+x²=8²

We can make this 9+x=64 by squaring the 3 and 8.

Then we can subtract 9 from each side to get x=55.

Finally, take the square root of 55 to get √55 or 7.42.

I hope this helped!
