Answer:

The answer to your question is Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The math in this problem is that we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve it. Pythagorean theorem is part of trigonometry a branch of Maths.

Data

base = 9 ft                      

length = 37 ft

height = ?

Pythagorean theorem

                                     c² = a² + b²

length = c

base = a

height = b

                                   37² = 9² + b²

-Solve for b

                                    b² = 37² - 9²

-Simplify

                                    b² = 1369 - 81

                                    b² = 1288

-Result

                                   b = 35.88

-Conclusion

The ladder will reach a height higher than 35 ft.

Answer:

53\frac{1}{2}\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a square is equal to

P=4a

where

a is the length side of the square

in this problem we have

a=11\frac{3}{8}\ in

convert to an improper fraction

11\frac{3}{8}\ in=\frac{11*8+3}{8}=\frac{91}{8}\ in

Find the perimeter of the square

P=4\frac{91}{8}=45.5\ in

Remember to adds two extra inches for each corner

so

The wood needed is  

45.5\ in+2*4\ in= 53.5\ in

convert to mixed number

53.5\ in=53\frac{1}{2}\ in

Given that ABC is a right triangle.

The length of AC = 10 and AB = 17

We need to determine the m∠B

<u>The measure of ∠B:</u>

The side opposite to ∠B is AC and the hypotenuse of the triangle is AB

The m∠B can be determined using the trigonometric identity,

sin B=\frac{opp}{hyp}

where opp=AC and hyp=AB

Substituting, we get;

sin B=\frac{AC}{AB}

Substituting the values, we get;

sinB=\frac{10}{17}

sin B=0.588

Taking sin^{-1} on both sides of the equation, we have;

B=sin^{-1}(0.588)

B=36.015^{\circ}

Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we get;

B=36.0^{\circ}

Hence, the measure of ∠B is 36.0°
