Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠1 = m∠2 {Corresponding angles}
78 - 2x = 89 - 3x
Add 3x to both sides
78 - 2x + 3x = 89
78 + x = 89
Subtract 78 from both sides
x = 89 - 78
x = 11

Answer:
24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The side adjacent to the angle is given, and the hypotenuse of the triangle is the unknown. The cosine relation applies:
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
hypotenuse = ladder length = (5 ft)/cos(78°) ≈ 24.0 ft
The ladder is about 24 feet long.
X greater than or equal to 5
