.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
8 0

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

Use expressions for odd integers to confirm the conjecture that the product for two odd integers is an odd integer.
Mandarinka [93]

k, n - integers  

2k+1  - an odd integer

2n+1  - another odd integer

The product of them:

  (2k + 1)(2n + 1) =

= 4kn + 2k + 2n + 1 =

= 2(2kn + k + n) + 1

The product of integers (2kn) is integer

and the sum of them (2kn+k+n) also is integer

So  (2k + 1)(2n + 1)  = 2(2kn + k + n) + 1  is an odd integer

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (−4, −1) and (5, 7) ?
Sergio039 [100]

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{7-(-1)}{5-(-4)}=\dfrac{7+1}{5+4}=\dfrac{8}{9}\\\\\boxed{y-7=\dfrac{8}{9}(x-5)}

Simplify the expression -3 (b-7)
Nataliya [291]
Simply distribute the -3 across the b and -7.

-3(b - 7) = (-3 * b) + (-3 * -7) = -3b + 21

Hope this was helpful, if it wasn't just drop me a DM explaining what didn't make sense.
