To solve your question, you add all of the measurements together, set them equal to 180, solve for x, and plug x back in for whichever angle they are asking for; in this case, they want angle R
7x + 12x + 20 + 20x - 35 = 180
39x - 15 = 180
39x = 180 + 15
39x = 195
x = 5
Angle R = 12x + 20
12(5) + 20
60 + 20
80
Option C is your answer.
Answer:
Whats the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
it's probably b
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know how to do it so don't do b
Answer:
37 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a right triangle as it elan's against the wall of the boat house.
Thus, the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagorean theorem.
c² = a² + b²
c = length of ladder
a = 35 ft
b = 12 ft
Plug in the values
c² = 35² + 12²
c² = 1,225 + 144
c² = 1,369
c = √1,369
c = 37
Therefore, to reach the roof of the boathouse, the length of the ladder = 37 ft
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
- Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to solve for x
- Multiply both sides by
x × 
( divide both sides by 
)
x = ≈ ( nearest tenth )
