Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)
So, we want to find θ.
Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.
We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.
Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:
The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:
Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:
Use a calculator. Hence:
The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.
Answer:
x ≈ 1.32, x ≈ - 5.32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² + 4x - 7 = 0 ( add 7 to both sides )
x² + 4x = 7
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(2)x + 4 = 7 + 4
(x + 2)² = 11 ( take the square root of both sides )
x + 2 = ± ( subtract 2 from both sides )
x = - 2 ±
Thus
x = - 2 - ≈ - 5.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
x = - 2 + ≈ 1.32 ( to 2 dec. places )
