Let
x-------> the amount of solution
y--------> the amount of solution
we know that
so
-------> equation A
-------> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B
find the value of y
therefore
The student need of
solution and
of
solution
<u>the answer is</u>
A) The percent values were written incorrectly in the equation
B) The amount of 7% solution should be written as 1 – x, not x – 1.
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
