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.
<em>*To solve an inequality, it's the same as solving an equation; isolate the variable to one side.</em>
For this, all you need to do is divide both sides by -4. And since we are dividing by a <u>negative</u>, flip the inequality sign and your inequality is
Now to graph this. Since x can be "equal to" 1/4 ( ≤ = less than or equal to), you will have a <u>closed circle on 1/4.</u> And since x can also be "less than" 1/4, <u>the arrow will be going to the left of 1/4.</u>
