Since the triangles are similar, the ratio of each side in one triangle to
the corresponding side in the other one is always the same number. 
We know what one pair of sides is ... 3.5 and 7 ... so we know that
each side in the first triangle is 1/2 as long as the corresponding side
in the other one.

So we can say with assurance that ...

          y = 1/2 (x + 4)
and
          x = 1/2 (3y) .

That's all the intelligence required for this problem.  The rest is just algebra,
and I should not need to go through all the routine misery for you here.

When you solve this pair of equations slowly, carefully, and accurately,
you'll find that the sides of the triangles are ...

         3.5,   8,  12
and
           7,  16,  24 .

Answer:

exact area = 81π in.²

approximate area = 254.34 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Exact:

area = πr²

r = radius = diameter/2 = 18 in./2 = 9 in.

area = πr²

area = π × (9 in.)²

area = 81π in.²

exact area = 81π in.²

Approximate:

π = 3.14 (approximately)

area = πr²

area = 81π in²

area = 81 × 3.14 in.²

approximate area = 254.34 in.²

A ladder that is 32 ft long leans against a building. The angle of Elevation of the Ladder is 70 degrees
netineya [11]

Answer:

B. 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is 32 ft long

The angle of elevation of the ladder is 70°

The height (h) of the top of the ladder to the ground is what we are to find.

\frac{h}{32} = sin 70°

h = 32 × sin 70° = 30.07016387 or 30 ft (rounded off to nearest feet)
