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)

sasho [114]

Answer:

The fish is 2.25 ft above the surface at 0.375 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y=-16x^2+12x

x=0.375 seconds

Substitute x=0.375 into the equation

y=-16x^2+12x

= -16(0.375)^2 +12(0.375

= -16(0.140625) + 4.5

= -2.25 + 4.5

= 2.25

y=2.25 ft

The fish is 2.25 ft above the surface at 0.375 seconds

One cookie and two brownies cost the same as two cookies and one brownie. One cookie and one brownie together cost $1. What is t
adoni [48]

Answer:

50 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a system of equations. Let x be a cookie and y be a brownie then...

x+2y=2x+y

x+y=1

We can solve this using substitution

x=1-y

1-y+2y=2(1-y)+y

1+y=2-2y+y

1+y=2-y

-1=-2y

y=1/2

One brownie costs 50 cents and one cookie costs...

x+1/2=1

x=1/2

One cookie costs 50 cents
