The barn, the ground, and the ladder form a right triangle. If we represent the height on the barn by y, then the Pythagorean theorem tells us
... hypotenuse² = (side1)² + (side2)²
... (12 ft)² = (3 ft)² + y² . . . . . . . . . . . . fill in given information
... 144 ft² - 9 ft² = y² = 135 ft² . . . . . .subtract (3 ft)²
... y = 3√15 ft ≈ 11.6 ft . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The ladder reaches 11.6 feet high on the barn.
So, you already know that angle CBD is 68 degrees, and the complementary angle to angle CBD is angle CBA. These angles together make 180 degrees because segment DBA is a straight line consisting of angles CBD and CBA. 180-68(the angle you already know) is 112 degrees for angle CBA. Then you repeat this process to find the other angles
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the inverse cosine function.
2/3, 4/5, 1/8 is the correct order from greatest to least.
