.A ladder is leaning against a wall. The top of the ladder is 4 feet above the ground

Mathematics
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a triangle with the wall and ground.

The side of the triangle opposite of the 60° angle is 4 feet.

To find the length of the ladder (the hypotenuse), use sine.

sine = opposite / hypotenuse

sin 60° = 4 / L

L = 4 / sin 60°

L = 4 / (√3 / 2)

L = 8 / √3

L = 8√3 / 3

L ≈ 4.619 feet

To find the distance from the wall, use tangent.

tangent = opposite / adjacent

tan 60° = 4 / x

x = 4 / tan 60°

x = 4 / √3

x = 4√3 / 3

x ≈ 2.309 feet

Given Equation

\boxed{ \tt \: (8 \sqrt{3}  - 2 \sqrt{2} )(8 \sqrt{3}   + 2 \sqrt{2})}

Step by step expansion:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: (8 \sqrt{3}  - 2 \sqrt{2} )(8 \sqrt{3}   + 2 \sqrt{2})

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: (8 \sqrt{3})^{2}  - (2 \sqrt{2}  {)}^{2}

Reason:

(a + b)(a - b) = a²- b²

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: (8 {}^{2}  \times  { \sqrt{3} }^{2} )- (2 \sqrt{2}  {)}^{2}

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: (64  \times 3 ) - (2 \sqrt{2}  {)}^{2}

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: (64  \times 3 ) - (2 {}^{2} \times   \sqrt{2}  {}^{2}  {)}

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: 192- 8

\\  \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: 184

Sara is building a triangular pen for her pet rabbit. If two of the sides measure 8 feet and 15 feet, the length of the third si
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

1) 13 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 13+8=21 which is greater than 15. Would be a triangle.

2) 7+8=15   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

3) 3+8<15   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

2) 15+8=23   This would be a single line, not a triangle.

PLEASE HELP URGENT<br><br> Given \tan \theta =0.6, find the value of b.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

b=8.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

tanx (this represents tan theta, it's just easier to type) is equal to 0.6 and since the tanx ratio is opp/adj, we know that opp/adj = 0.6

To find what b is (adjacent as it is adjacent to the angle being used and it is not the hypotenuse), we just have to rearrange.

0.6=5.1/adj

to solve for adj, we can switch 0.6 and adj. (This works because to get adj by itself on one side you would multiply it to the other side and then divide 0.6 from both sides --> simple algebra)

so then you have

adj=5.1/0.6

adj=8.5cm

(if you want to check your solution you can use pythagoeran theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2) and sub everything in and make sure all the numbers equal the right thing!
