Answer:
y is the same as 1y. so 9y + 1y = 10y
Answer: 9.19 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Sin α = opposite side / hypotenuse
Where α is the angle of elevation of the ladder to the ground, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle (in this case is the length of the ladder), and the opposite side (x) is distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.
Replacing with the values given:
Sin 45 = x/ 13
Solving for x
sin45 (13) =x
x= 9.19 ft

For any values less than -3, the answer is undefined, because then you have a negative value for √x+3
When you solve, a quadratic formula is set up as ax^2+bx+c so in this scenario a is 1, b is -1 and c is -6.
-(-1)+- √- 1^2-4(1)(-1)/2(1) is
1+/-√1+4/2 equals -2 and 3 making the answer c
