To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34
To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04
So b/10 has to be -1, that means b is -10
Answer:
x= - 50/9
Step-by-step explanation:
multipy both equations by 12
9x+60=10
then move the constant to the right hand side and change it's sign
9x= 10 - 60
calculate difference
9x = -50
divide both sides by 9
x= - 50/9
