Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10

A ladder that is 32 ft long leans against a building. The angle of Elevation of the Ladder is 70 degrees
netineya [11]

Answer:

B. 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is 32 ft long

The angle of elevation of the ladder is 70°

The height (h) of the top of the ladder to the ground is what we are to find.

\frac{h}{32} = sin 70°

h = 32 × sin 70° = 30.07016387 or 30 ft (rounded off to nearest feet)
