.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

Solve. Write the solution in interval notation. -2x>-8 and -5x<20.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The interval notation of the solution is (-4 , 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let us explain a very important point in solving inequality

- When you multiply or divide an inequality by negative number we

   must reverse the symbol of the inequality

- Ex:

∵ 2 < 3

- If we multiply the both sides of the inequality by -1, then the

  inequality will be -2 < -3 and this is completely wrong, so we must

  reverse the symbol of the inequality

∴ -2 > -3

* Now let us solve the problem

∵ -2x > -8

- Divide both sides by -2 and remember to reverse the symbol of the

  inequality

∴ x < 4

∵ -5x < 20

- Divide both sides by -5 and remember to reverse the symbol of the

  inequality

∴ x > -4

- From both solutions

∴ -4 < x < 4

∴ The solution is {x : -4 < x < 4}

- Interval notation is a way of writing the solutions of inequalities

 ( , ) if x does not equal the end numbers

 [ , ] if x equals the end numbers

 [ , ) , ( , ] if x equals one of the two end numbers

* The interval notation of the solution is (-4 , 4)

If angle bisector EG is drawn find angle EGF
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

90°

Step-by-step explanation:

because by bisecting the angle, you are going through the centre in this triangle. Splitting to triangle in half gives two right-angled triangles :)

sorry for bad drawing
