The answer is
a) 11/15
b) 1/18
They are both going 14 meters per second so therefor they will be the same distance apart the whole time.
Answer:
7.4 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance from bottom of ladder to side of the house = d
θ = 62 ; height, h = 14
Using trigonometry :
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Opposite = height ; adjacent = d
Tan 62° = 14 / d
1.8807264 * h = 14
d = 14 / 1.8807264
d = 7.44
Given u/7 - 1 = 7 and plugging in values for u,
For u = 28; 28/7 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3; No
For u = -49; -49/7 - 1 = -7 - 1 = -8; No
For u = 42; 42/7 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5; No
For u = 0; 0/7 - 1 = -1; No
Another way to find out which value would be a solution to u/7 - 1 = 7 is to solve for u.
u/7 - 1 = 7
u/7 = 7 + 1
u/7 = 8
u = 8*7
u = 56
The only solution to this equation is when u = 56.
