Answer:

<h2>The wall is approximately 10.75 feet tall.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about a right triangle formed by the ladder and the house. The given triangle is formed with the wall, that is, is the space between the wall and the ladder. The twenty-five foot refers to the hypothenuse of the right triangle formed, and the wall is the vertical leg.

Therefore, we have to use trigonometric reasons to answer the questions, because we know an angle and the hypothenuses of the triangle. The relations we must use is:

cos(\alpha )=\frac{x}{h}

Replacing given values, we have:

cos(41.5)=\frac{x}{25}

x=25cos(41.5)=25(0.75) \approx 18.75 \ ft

Therefore, the wall is approximately 10.75 feet tall.

So to find this we must use cos(41.5 degrees) so the equation is cos(41.5)=x/25 we times both sides by 25. We also find out what cos 41.5 is in this step. so 0.75x25 = x. Therefore x=18.8. the house is 18.8 feet tall

Answer:

HL

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse and the "leg" are congruent...along with the 90 degree angle.

"The HL Postulate states that if the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent." - Calcworkshop

Which is an equation of the line that
Ymorist [56]

Step-by-step explanation:

(5,2) & (10,-3)

the slope of the points are

y2 - y1 / x2- x1

-3-2/10-5

-5/5

-1

the mid point of the given points are

x= x1 + x2/2 , y= y1 +y2 /2

.

.

.

.

( , )

the equation of the line that passes through the given points are as

y+ y1 = m (x+ x1)

:. now put the value of the mid point in y1 and x1 and the value of slope in m

also find the mid point, it's hard to do it in a mobile without calculator and paper and pen

sorry
