<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is a. 20.5 feet.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that the angle of elevation of the ladder is 70° and the height of the ladder is 25 feet from the ground.

We are to find the distance of the building from the base of the ladder.

For this, we will use tan:

tan 70 = \frac { 2 5 } { x }

x = \frac { 2 5 } { tan 7 0 }

x = 20.5 feet

Answer:

a. 20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

because this will form a right triangle we can use tan (opposite over adjacent) so an equation we could set up would be tan(70)=25/x

therefore we can just solve the equation which would give us 20.45. so if we round it the answer would be a

Suppose that y varies inversely with x. Write a function that models the inverse function. x = 5 when y = 7
Dovator [93]
Varying inversely means y=a number divided by x
find the number: 7=k/5 =>k=35
so the equation is y=35/x

Area of the triangle is 20x(x - 1) sq. in

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the area of the triangle.

Height = 10x in and Base = 4(x - 1) in

Area = 1/2 × base × height

⇒ Area = 1/2 × 4(x - 1) × 10x

            = 20x(x - 1) sq. in

I need help on 1-6 and If you can, can you explain how to do these? I'm not entirely sure how to.

1. Using c=2pi(r), plug in 7 for r and solve. Then using a=pi(r)^2, plug in 7 for r once again and solve.

2. First, the diameter (d) is 12 so to get the radius (r), divide 12 by 2 and you should get 6. Then use c=2pi(r) for circumference and a=pi(r)^2 for area to solve.

3. To get the area of the semicircle, divide 16 by 2 to get the radius (r), plug it into a=pi(r)^2, and divide the answer you get for a by 2. To get the area of the triangle, use a=1/2bh, plugging in 16 for b and 10 for h. Finally, add your two answers (the a's from the semicircle and triangle problems).

4. Multiply 20 by 5.5 to get the area of the triangle. Then multiply 4.5 by 20 to get the area of the parallelogram and add your two quotients.

5. Use a=1/2bh and plug in 4 for b and 3 for h and solve. Then multiply the quotient by 10 and there's your volume. To find the surface area, solve SA=(10×4)+(10×3)+(10×5)+12. All I did there was find the area of all the sides and added them together.

6. To find the triangle's volume, use a=1/2bh (b=4, h=1.5) and then multiply the quotient of that by 2.5. To find the rectangle's volume, use v=lwh (l=4, w=2.5, h=2) and solve. Finally, add the triangle's volume and the rectangle's volume to get the total volume. To get its surface area, start with the rectangle. Find the areas of all the sides and add them together but then subtract the 2.5×4 rectangle as it is not on the surface. It should look like this: SA=2(4×2)+2(2.5×2)+10. Again, all I did was find the areas of all the rectangle's sides on the surface and added them. Next, find the triangle's areas on the surface and it should look like this: SA=2(1.5×4)+2(2.5×2.5). Finally, add both values of SA from the triangle and rectangle and there's your surface area.
