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.

The values of angles are 140 and 20

• In plane geometry, a figure which is formed by joining of two lines that share a common point is called as the angle. The two lines or rays are called as the sides of the angle and the common point is called the vertex.

• In geometry there are types of angles such as complementary angles, supplementary angles, acute angle, obtuse angles. Complementary angles are the angles whose sum is equal to 90. Supplementary angles are the angles whose sum is equal to 180.

According to the question

We are given that one angle is -7x and the other angle is -2x

Using formula of supplementary angles

-7x + (-2x) = 180

-7x -2x = 180

-9x = 180

-x = 20

x = -20

The value of x is -20

The value of angle – 7x = -7(-20) = 140

The value of angle -2x = -2(-20) = 40

Margaret [11]
The shape of the cross section is a triangle. Therefore, the answer is the second option: Triangle.
 A rectangular pyramid is a pyramid that has a rectangle as its base. Therefore, its base has four sides. The rectangular pyramid also has four triangles that coming together in its apex. So, if the rectangular pyramid is<span> sliced so the cross section is perpendicular to its base and passes through its vertex, the cross section obtained is a triangle.</span>

What is the perimeter of a rectangular garden with a width of 24 feet and a diagonal of 40 feet?
elena55 [62]
Drawing it out, as seen, using the Pythagorean theorem we get that w^2+l^2 (with w=width and l=length)=diagonal^2=24^2+l^2=40^2. Subtracting 24^2 from both sides, we get 40^2-24^2=l^2=1024. Square rooting both sides, we get l=32. Since the perimeter is 2w+2l, we get 32*2+24*2=64+48=112
