Answer:
11.2 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...
d² + 10² = 15²
d² = 225 -100 = 125
d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet
The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building
Answer:
(B) 26°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle at A made by the radius and the tangent is 90°. The angle at O is the same as arc AB, 64°. The acute angles in a right triangle are complementary, so the angle at C is the complement of 64°.
∠ACB = 90° -64°
∠ACB = 26°
Answer:
3 : 5, 4: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the common multiplier of the given ratios be x.
Therefore, lengths of the legs of right triangle would be 3x and 4x
By Pythagoras Theorem:
Multiply first, then add. 12 times 7 = 84. Then add 8. 84 + 8 = 92.
