Answer:
the top of the ladder is 27.5ft above the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder makes an angle, θ with the ground thus forming a right angle triangle with the wall of the house.
The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
The ground distance from the base of the wall to the foot of the ladder represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
Therefore, to determine how high up is the top of the ladder on the wall, x, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
28² = x² + 5²
784 = x² + 25
x² = 784 - 25 = 759
x = √759 = 27.5ft
Answer: x=16 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k and d be the Kevin's age and the Daniel's age;
We have the equation:
k = 3 + d;
k - 2 = 4( d - 2 );
We have 3 + d - 2 = 4d - 8;
Then, d + 1 = 4d - 8;
9 = 3d;
d = 3.
Finally, k = 6 years.
Since .68 is 68/100, you can simplify to 17/25.
