Answer:

3.46 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle, Using Trigonometry

\tan 60^\circ = \dfrac{6}{x} \\$Cross multiply\\x\tan 60^\circ =6\\$Divide both sides by \tan 60^\circ\\x=\dfrac{6}{\tan 60^\circ}\\\\x=3.46$ meters

The ladder is 3.46 meters from the foot of the wall.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

£191.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 4 = 5 parts

Divide 320 by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

320 ÷ 5 = 64 ← value of 1 part of the ratio , thus

4 parts = 4 × 64 = 256

Thus he bought 64 first class and 256 second class.

Cost = (64 × £0.67) + (256 × £0.58)

        = £42.88 + 148.48

        = £191.36

What is the value of x in simplest radical form ?
STALIN [3.7K]
Use Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 35^2 = c^2
144 + 1225 = c^2
1369 = c^2
Sqrt 1369 = c
37 = c

Simplify.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression √3/√8, we can first simplify the square root terms by finding the prime factorization of each number under the square root. The prime factorization of 3 is 3, and the prime factorization of 8 is 2 * 2 * 2.

We can then rewrite the square root terms as follows:

√3/√8 = √(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2)

Next, we can use the property of square roots that says that the square root of a number is equal to the square root of each of its prime factors. This means that we can rewrite the square root term as follows:

√(3) / √(2 * 2 * 2) = √(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2)

Since the square root of a number is the same as the number itself, we can simplify the expression further by removing the square root symbols from the prime numbers 2:

√(3) / √(2) / √(2) / √(2) = √(3) / 2 / 2 / 2

Finally, we can use the rules of division to simplify the expression even further:

√(3) / 2 / 2 / 2 = √(3) / (2 * 2 * 2)

Since any number divided by itself is equal to 1, we can simplify the expression one last time to get our final answer:

√(3) / (2 * 2 * 2) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Therefore, the simplified form of the expression √3/√8 is 1/8.
