Answer:
12 feet ladder
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of 12 ft ladder :
Using Pythagoras :
Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus
Tan 57 = h / 12
1.5398649 * 12 = 18.48 feets
For 16 feet ladder :
Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus
Tan 30 = h / 16
0.5773502 * 16 = 9.24 feets
18.48 > 9.24
Hence, he'll climb the 12 feets ladder to the higher height
9x - 6/5 = -12
Convert -12 to -60/5
9x - 6/5 = -60/5
Add 6/5 to both sides
9x - 6/5 + 6/5 = -60/5 + 6/5
9x = -54/5
divide both sides by 9
x = -6/5
Answer:
160°
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (Major arc AB - Minor arc AB) = 20°
Major arc AB = 200°
Minor arc AB = 160°
central angle = minor arc AB = 160°
