This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)

Answer:
Pattern: subtract 2 from the input to get the output
When the input is 9, the output is 7
When the input is 13, the output is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
» <u>Application + Solution</u>
To find the pattern, we have to look for common things we notice between the input and output.
- After analyzing, we can surely notice that we subtract two from the input each time to get the output because 3 - 2 = 1, 8 - 2 = 6, 15 - 2 = 13, and 20 - 2 = 18.
Now that we realized the pattern, we subtract 2 from 9 and 13.
X*y=72
x = 5y-2
x=72/y
72/y=5y-2
72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18
(18,4)
34,650 is the answer, I think
