Answer:

5.18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:  

We have been given that a ladder that is 20 feet long is leaning against the side of a building if the angle formed between the ladder and the ground is 75 degrees.

We can see from the attachment that side with 20 feet is hypotenuse and side x is adjacent side to the angle 75 degrees.

\text{cos}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

Substitute the given values:

\text{cos}(75^{\circ})=\frac{x}{20}

\frac{x}{20}=\text{cos}(75^{\circ})

\frac{x}{20}*20=20*\text{cos}(75^{\circ})

x=20*0.258819045103

x=5.1763809

x\approx 5.18

Therefore, the bottom of the ladder is 5.18 feet away from the base of the building​.

Find the areas of the sectors formed by ABC
Amanda [17]

Answer:

33.51 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the circle:

A = πr^2

A = π * 8^2

A = 64π = 201.06 in^2

Find the area of the 60 deg slice:

A * 60/360 = 33.51 in^2

Find the difference quotient and simplify your answer. f(x) = 4x − x2, f(4 + h) − f(4) h , h ≠ 0
Anon25 [30]

The difference quotient and simplification will be    = [4 -h-2x]

The given equation is as follows:   f(x)= 4x - x²

For finding the quotient and further simplification we must follow the following steps:

[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h

<h3>What is simplification of algebraic operations?</h3>

Getting the functions in their lowest terms is known as simplification.

Brackets will get open and solved further;

[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h

[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4h - h² - 2x]/ h  

Finally dividing the whole equation with h;

                                = [4 - h - 2x]

A square is inscribed in a circle with an area of 10 pi square inches. what is the area of the square
Naddik [55]
We need to determine the radius and diameter of the circle.  If the area of the circle is 10 pi in^2, then, according to the formula for the area of a circle,

A = 10 pi in^2 = pi*r^2.  Thus, 10 in^2 = r^2, and r = radius of circle = sqrt(10) in.

Thus, the diam. of the circle is 2sqrt(10) in.  This diam. has the same length as does the hypotenuse of one of the triangles making up the square.

Thus, [ 2*sqrt(10) ]^2 = x^2 + x^2, where x represents the length of one side of the square.  So, 4(10) in^2 = 2x^2.  Then:
                                 40 in^2  = 2x^2, or 20 in^2 = x^2, and so the length x of one side of the square is sqrt(20).  The area of the square is the square of this result:

Area of the square = x^2 = [ sqrt(20) ]^2 = 20 in^2 (answer).  Compare that to the 10 pi sq in area of the circle (31.42 in^2).

1. Ima Thief robs a bank and takes off in a getaway car. Five minutes Polly Srule takes off after Ima.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

a. 12 minutes

b. 34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that Ima has driven 5 minutes before Polly started driving

So if Ima has driven for x minutes , polly would have driven for y minutes but the difference between x and y is 5

So mathematically;

x = y + 5

a. 17 = y + 5

y = 17-5 = 12 minutes

b. x = 29 + 5

x = 34 minutes
