A) How high up the wall does it reach?
Use the Pythagorean theorem
Height^2 + Base^2 = Hyp^2
H^2+ 2^2 = 4^2 Subtract the 2^2 from both sides
H^2 = 4^2 -2^2 Multiply the square roots of both the numbers
H^2= 16 - 4
H^2 = 12
H= sqrt(12) m
Hope this helps
The number is no longer negative and changed in warm ness
If sinα=1/4 and it is in q2 it means that the x coordinate is negative.
The triangle has a height of one and a hypotenuse of 4 so:
x=-√(4^2-1)
x=-√15
so tanα=-1/√15
tanα=-√(1/15)
tanα≈ -0.258
The total would be $2.73.
