Answer:
multiply 3.135 inch by 20 miles and divide it by 1/2
I hope this helped I don't really understand what you were asking but I solved the iniquity and plotted on a number line
Answer:
8.94 (Rounded would be 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
By using the Pythagorean Theorem formula,
A^2+B^2 = C^2
You have the hypotenuse (c) = 12
and you have a leg (a) = 8
and you're trying to find another leg (b) = x
In order to find this, you'll have to change up the formula in order to find (B) instead of (C)
B^2 = C^2 - A^2
(B) = (12)^2 - (8)^2
(B) = 144 - 64
(B) = 80
Square root of 80
B = 8.9
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
