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.

Find all the real cube roots of 0.000027.
lapo4ka [179]
The real cube root is 0.03 because...
(0.000027)^1/3 = (27 x 10^-6)^1/3 = 3 x 10^-2 = 0.03

3. Are these ratios equivalent? 35:28 and 10:8 *
attashe74 [19]

Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.

35:28

\begin{gathered} \frac{35}{28}=\frac{7\cdot5}{7\cdot4} \\ =\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

10:8

\begin{gathered} \frac{10}{8}=\frac{2\cdot5}{2\cdot4} \\ =\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}

Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.

Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c

In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:

\begin{gathered} 35\cdot8=280 \\ 10\cdot28=280 \end{gathered}

Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
