The number is (2√3) / 3
To find the missing number, convert what it says in words to an equation:
Divide both sides by 15:
Take the square root:
We just use the sinus rule to calculate this
a / sin alpha = b / sin beta
Alpha is the 90 degree angle from the wall to the floor
beta is the angle from the top of the ladder to the wall,
wich is 90 degrees - 75 degrees (triangle has 180 degrees angles, one is 90 degrees), so beta = 15 degrees
14 foot / sin 90 = b / sin 15
sin 90 = 1
we move the sin15 over to the other side
14 foot x sin 15 = b
b = 3.62 foot
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the length of third side.
10-5<x<10+5
or 5<x<15
so third side is between 5 and 15 .
The distance between the two is 70
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ ABC = 9x + 5 ( alternate angles )
∠ ABC and ∠ DCB are sam- side interior angles and sum to 180° , that is
9x + 5 + 16x = 180
25x + 5 = 180 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
25x = 175 ( divide both sides by 25 )
x = 7
Then
∠ ABC = 9x + 5 = 9(7) + 5 = 63 + 5 = 68° → B
