In order to use a ladder safely, the angle that the ladder forms with the ground should not exceed 70 degree. If you have a ladd

er that is 16 ft. long, what is the maximum height on the wall of a building that the ladder will safely reach? Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

Maximum safe height can be reached by ladder = 15.03. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Let's assume the maximum safe height of wall = h

angle formed between ladder and ground = 70°

length of ladder = 16 ft

From the given data, it can be seen that ladder will form a right angle triangle structure with the wall

So,from the concept of trigonometry,

Sin70^o\ =\ \dfrac{\textrm{maximum safe height of wall}}{\textrm{length of ladder}}

=>Sin70^o\ =\ \dfrac{h}{16\ ft}

=>\ h\ =\ 16\times Sin70^o

=> h = 16 x 0.9396

=> h = 15.03 ft

So, the maximum safe height that can be reached by the ladder will be 15.03 ft.

(1 point) 1. The height (in feet) and volume of usable lumber (in cubic feet) of 32 cherry trees are measured by a researcher. T
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

C. volume

Step-by-step explanation:

The response variable in this scenario would be the volume of the usable lumber. That is because this variable depends completely on the height of the cherry trees that are being measured. The higher that the cherry trees are the more volume can be expected to get from cutting these trees down. The opposite goes for trees that are smaller, they would decrease the total expected volume that will be received from the usable lumber since there would be less amount of tree to cut down.
