5/10x = 2/10x + 15
5/10x - 2/10x = 15
3/10x = 15
x = 15 * 10/3
x = 150/3
x = 50
2/10(50) = 100/10 = 10 in. ....shortest piece
3/10(50) = 150/10 = 15 in .....middle piece
5/10(50) = 250/10 = 25 in .....longest piece

Answer:
34.88 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant trig relation is ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
We want to find the length of the side adjacent to the measured angle. The hypotenuse is the ladder length.
cos(29.32°) = distance/(40 ft)
distance = (40 ft)cos(29.32°) ≈ 34.876°
The base of the ladder is about 34.88 feet from the building.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It extends about 19.59 feet up the side of the building.
Mo must release this ball approximately halfway between straight-ahead and straight-up because the angle subtended must be 45 degrees with the horizontal axis.
<h3>What is distance?</h3>
Distance can be defined as the amount of ground covered (traveled) by a physical object, regardless of its direction, starting point or ending point.
<h3>How should Mo release the ball?</h3>
In order to achieve the furthest travel distance, Mo must release this ball approximately halfway between straight-ahead and straight-up because the angle subtended must be 45 degrees with the horizontal axis, as shown in the image attached below.
