1. Joshua has a ladder that is 17 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is

16.5 ft above the ground. For safety reasons, he wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 70°. Will the ladder be safe at this height? Show your work please.

Answer:

NO, the ladder is too steep.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of ladder = 17 feet.  This is the hypotenuse.  

 Side a of a right triangle = 16.6    

To answer this, you need one of the trigonometric functions.      Opposite = 16.5    

hypotenuse = 17    

The function you need is the sine function.    

Sin(theta) = opposite / hypotenuse    

sin(theta) = 16.5 / 17    

Sin(theta) = 0.97059    

theta = sin-1(0.07059)    

theta = 76.07  

No the ladder is too steep.

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 5y=x−5 through the point (-1,0).
Artemon [7]

Hey there!

First, we want to put the equation of this first line in slope-intercept form.

5y=x-5

We divide both sides by 5.

y=1/5x-1.

The slope of a perpendicular is line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. The slope of a line perpendicular to a line with the equation y=1/2x would be -2, because you flip the numerator and denominator and then make it negative.

So, this means that the slope of the line perpendicular to the line y=1/5x-1 is -5. So, here's our equation so far.

y= -5x+b

Now, we need to find the b. To do this, we can plug in this point (-1,0) that this perpendicular line goes through and solve for b.

0=-5(-1)+b

0=5+b

b= -5

So, this gives us the equation y= -5x-5

Have a wonderful day!
