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.

ABCD is a square of side 3, and E and F are the mid points of sides AB and BC respectively. What is the area of the quadrilatera
Dima020 [189]
Given : - Square ABCD with side 3.  E and F as midpoints.
To find : - area of EBFD

Solution : - We have, area of square ABCD = 3 x 3 = 9 units.

Thus, (ar)EBFD = ar ABCD - ar DAE - arDCF

arDAE = 1/2 x base x height

=1/2 x 1.5 x 3 ( AE is 1/2 of AB = 1.5, DA is altitude)
= 2.25

arDFC = 1/2 x base x height 
= 1/2 x 1.5 x 3 (FC is 1/2 of BC, DC is altitude)
= 2.25

Thus, (ar) EBFD = arABCD - arDAE - arDCF

= 9 - 2.25 - 2.25

= 4.5 units.

Thus, area of quad EBFD is 4.5 units.
