The safety instructions for a 20 foot ladder say the ladder should not be inclined more than 70 degrees with the ground. suppose
a ladder is leaned against a house at this angle. What is the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder?
1 answer:
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets

We are asked to express r in terms of A, P, and t.
We first divide both sides of the equation by t, which gives us
,
then, dividing both sides by P, we have
.
Swap the sides:
Finally subtracting 1 from both sides gives us
.
We first divide both sides of the equation by t, which gives us
then, dividing both sides by P, we have
Swap the sides:
Finally subtracting 1 from both sides gives us
In the plane, we have
everywhere. So in the equation of the sphere, we have
which is a circle centered at (2, -10, 0) of radius 4.
In the plane, we have
, which gives
But any squared real quantity is positive, so there is no intersection between the sphere and this plane.
In the plane,
, so
which is a circle centered at (0, -10, 3) of radius .
