Answer:

50.0°

Explanation:

In the diagram below, line AD represents the plank and line BC represents the wall.

θ is the angle the plank makes with the wall.

<em>Length of the plank on the wall</em>

The plank is 4 m long and 1.2 m extends beyond the wall.

The length of the plank resting on the wall is

AB = 4 – 1.2

AB = 2.8 m

===============

<em>Angle with the wall </em>

Triangle ABC is a right triangle, because the wall is perpendicular to the ground.

cosθ = BC/AB

BC = 1.8 m; AB = 2.8

cosθ = 1.8/2.8

θ = cos⁻¹(1.8/2.8)

θ = cos⁻¹(0.6429)

θ = 50.0°

The plank makes an angle of 50.0° with the wall.

I got an equation
liberstina [14]

Answer:

X=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, you are right.

The given equation is

X+U=25

If U=10, then we substitute to obtain:

X+10=25

Subtract 10 from both sides to get:

X=25-10

Simplify to get:

X=15

Elza [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

25x + 200 > 1,200

Subtract 200 from each side

25x + 200-200 > 1,200-200

25x> 1000

Divide by 25

25x/25 >1000/25

x>40
