Answer:

The ladder is 11 m long approximately .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall.

To Find :If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the ladder?

Solution :

The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall.

Base = 7 m

The top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall

So, height at which ladder touches wall i.e. perpendicular = 9 m

We are supposed to find how long is the ladder i.e. Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2 +Base^2

Hypotenuse^2 =9^2 +7^2

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{9^2 +7^2}

Hypotenuse =11.40175

Hence The ladder is 11 m long approximately .

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 5 m, 6 m and 9m,( use root 2 =-1.41 m)​
dlinn [17]

The area of the triangle is 14.1 square meters

<h3>How to determine the triangle area?</h3>

The side lengths are given as:

5m, 6m and 9m

Calculate the semi-perimeter (s) using

s = (5 + 6 + 9)/2

Evaluate

s = 10

The area is then calculated as:

Area = \sqrt{s(s -a)(s-b)(s-c)

This gives

Area = \sqrt{10 * (10 -5)(10-6)(10-9)

Evaluate the products

Area = \sqrt{200

Evaluate the exponent

Area = 14.1

Hence, the area of the triangle is 14.1 square meters

Given that cos 63°≈ 0.454, enter the sine of a complementary angle.<br> sin
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

\cos(63^\circ) is the same as \sin(27^\circ) by co-function identities

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that complementary angles add up to 90°. The angle that i s complementary to 63° is 27°.

Also recall the co-function identities:

  • sin (90° – x) = cos x
  • cos (90° – x) = sin x

This means that \cos(90^\circ-27^\circ)=\sin(27^\circ)\approx0.454.
