Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The length of ladder is 30 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A ladder is leaning against the side of a building and the base of the ladder is 12 ft from the building.

We have to find the length of ladder.

Consider the given data,

BC be the height of building and AB be the ladder.

and AC to the base of the ladder is 12 ft from the building.

measure of angle A = 70°

We have to determine BC.

Using trigonometric ratio,

\tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

Here, for \theta=70^{\circ}  we have,

Perpendicular = BC and base = 12 ft

Substitute, we have,

\tan70^{\circ}=\frac{BC}{12}

Solve, for BC, we have.

BC=\tan70^{\circ}\times 12

BC = 32.96 ft

So from the given options nearest feet is 30 ft.

Thus, The length of ladder is 30 ft.

Number 10:
 All angles in a triangle =180 degrees

so add the first to and subtract that by 180

166 degrees
180-166=14
so x=14 degrees

For the given linear function, what are the slope and y-intercept?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
