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.

( 5x + 685 ) + ( 12x - 106 ) = 2500
uysha [10]

Answer:

            x  = 113

Step-by-step explanation:

( 5x + 685 ) + ( 12x - 106 ) = 2500                                          ( 685 - 106 =   579)

                       17x  +  579 = 2500

                             17x        = 2500 - 579

                                    17x =     1921

                                       x = 1921 / 17

                                      x  = 113

A line has a slope of 2. It passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, y) . What is the value of y? y=
malfutka [58]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this , we use the equation of finding a slope wig a line.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

From the question, we know that:

y2 = y

x2 = 3

y1 = 2

x1 = 1

m = 2

Hence,

2= (y - 2)/(3 - 1)

2 = (y - 2)/2

4 = y - 2

y = 2 + 4 = 6

How do you write 210% as a decimal?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

I believe it is 2.1 if I am wrong, very sorry.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you divide 200 by 100 so 210/100, thats when you get 2.1. So to convert that from percent to decimal all you do is is just divide by 100 and remove the % sign! Just move the decimal point 2 places to the left. If the percent value is a integer, the '.' is at the right of the right most digit.

Hope this helped you out and hope you got your answer right! Enjoy the rest of your day. :)
