<u>Given </u>that the length of the hypotenuse is 8 and the angle is 42°
The length of the one leg of the triangle is x.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.
Thus, we have;
Substituting the values, we get;
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 8, we get;
Simplifying, we get;
Therefore, the value of x is 5.35(app.)
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached diagram shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder with the wall of the house.
Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle. It has a 90 degree angle. The length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse(AC)of the triangle. This length can be determined by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
AC^2 = 22^2 + 5^2
AC^2 = 484 + 25 = 509
AC = √509
AC = 22.56
The slope of the ladder is
(change in y)/(change in x)
Slope = 22/5 = 4.4
