A 32 foot ladder is leaning against a building and forms a 29.37 angle with the ground how far away from the building is the bas
e of the ladder round to nearest hundredth
2 answers:
In the picture below, h is height of building and x is the distance the base of the ladder is away from the base of the building.
We use trigonometry to find x, particularly the cosine function.
cos(29.37°) = x/32
cos(29.37°)(32) = x
27.8870633052 = x
We now round off to the nearest hundredths, which means to two decimal places.
27.89 feet = x

First, we need to figure out the volume of the cylinder that holds the ink. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is 
We have the diameter, but we can easily find the radius by dividing it by 2. 0.400/2=0.200. Now, we plug our numbers into the formula.
Now, we need to figure out how much ink he uses each week. We do this by dividing the volume by the amount of weeks, or 1.445/7 = 0.206.
So, the student uses
