Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You;ll run into this formula a lot. Make sure you study it carefully.
A = 25
a = 5
d = 13
Find n
25 = 5 + 13*(n- 1)
20 = 13(n - 1)
This isn't going to work out. 20/13 does not give a whole number which it should.
A) (3x+30)+(x-5)+35=180
4x+60=180
4x=120
x=30
b) A=x-5
A=25
B=3x+30
B=120
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
