The length of the latter would be 23 feet because we know one angle is 75 and the angle against the wall is 90 and the base is 6 feet answer is 23 feet

Answer:

23.18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we make use of the geometry that forms between the wall, the floor and the ladder. A rectangular triangle is formed due to the right angle on the wall, <u>see attached image</u>.

We use the cosine functioncos\theta=\frac{adjacentSide}{hypotenuse}=\frac{a}{h}

Where \theta is the angle, in this case is equal to: \theta =75.

a is the adjacent side to the angle of 75: a=6, and h is the hypotenuse of the triangle that is the length of the ladder, so in the last equation we clear for h

h=\frac{a}{cos\theta}

and substituting known values:

h=\frac{6}{cos(75)}

h=\frac{6}{0.2588}

h=23.18 ft

The length of the ladder is 23.18 ft

Jacob transformed quadrilateral FGHJ to F'G'H'J'.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

A. Reflection across the line x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:  

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that Jacob transformed quadrilateral FGHJ to F'G'H'J'.  We are asked to find which transformation Jacob used to reflect FGHJ to F'G'H'J'.

Since we know that while reflecting a figure, the line of reflection will lie between the original figure and reflected figure. Each point of the reflected figure will have the same distance from the line of reflection as the corresponding point of the original figure.              

Now let us see our given choices one by one.

A. Reflection across the line x = 1.

Upon looking at point G and G' we can see that both points are equidistant (2 units) from the line x=1. Other corresponding points of both quadrilaterals are also equidistant from line x=1, therefore, Jacob used the reflection across the line x=1 to transform quadrilateral FGHJ to F'G'H'J'.

B. Reflection across the line y = 1 .      

If Jacob had reflected quadrilateral across line y=1, the points of quadrilateral F'G'H'J' will lie in second and third quadrant. We can see from our graph that F'G'H'J' lies in 1st quadrant, therefore, option B is not a correct choice.

C. Reflection across the line y-axis.

If Jacob had reflected quadrilateral across y-axis, the coordinates of points of quadrilateral F'G'H'J' will be G'(1,4), H'(1,2), J'(4,0) and F'(2,5). Therefore, option B is not a correct choice.

D.  Reflection across the x -axis.

If Jacob had reflected quadrilateral across x-axis, the points of quadrilateral F'G'H'J' will lie in third quadrant. We can see from our graph that F'G'H'J' lies in 1st quadrant, therefore, option D is not a correct choice.

Solve the equation 0.25 (8z - 4) = z + 8 - 2z
Andrew [12]
Distribute
2z-1=z+8-2z
add like terms
2z-1=-z+8
add z to both sides
3z-1=8
add 1 to both sides
3z=9
divide both sides by 3
z=3

Which of the following values for x and y satisfy the following system of the equations?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter C

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

                             x  +  4y  =  10

                           5x + 10y  = 20

Process

1.- Substitute all the options in both equations and evaluate them

a) x = 3, y = 2              This option is incorrect

           (3) +  4(2)  =  10             3 + 8 = 10         11 ≠ 10

         5(3) + 10(2)  = 20           15 + 20 = 20      35 ≠ 20    

b) x = 2, y = -3       This option is incorrect

  (2)  +  4(-3)  =  10                  2 -12 = 10            -10 ≠ 10

  (2) + 10(-3)  = 20                   2 - 30 = 20        -28 ≠ 20

c)  x = -2, y = 3    This is the right answer

  (-2)  +  4(3)  =  10                -2 + 12 = 10            10 = 10

 5(-2) + 10(3)  = 20               -10 + 30 = 20          20 = 20

d) x = 3, y = -2               This option is incorrect

  (3)  +  4(-2) =  10                 3 - 6 = 10                 - 3 ≠ 10

 5(3) + 10(-2)  = 20              15 - 20 = 20              -10 ≠ 10
