Answer:
87.0°
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of sines can be used to solve this. We have two sides of a triangle and the angle opposite one of them. We want to find the angle opposite the other known side.
In the attached, the triangle is ΔACS. We have side "a" = 9, and side "c" = 10. Angle A is given as 64°. The law of sines tells us ...
sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a
sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)
C = arcsin((c/a)sin(A)) = arcsin(10/9·sin(64°)) ≈ 87.03°
The ladder makes an angle of about 87° with the ground.
<h3>Answer: 4368 square feet</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
Check out the diagram below
I drew a rectangle with dimensions 56 ft by 78 ft.
Then I broke up the 56 into 50+6, and I broke up the 78 into 70+8
The reason for this is because it's fairly easy to multiply the areas of each smaller rectangle at this point
- In the upper left corner, we have an area of 50*70 = 3500. Note how this is basically 5*7 = 35, but we tack on the two zeros (from 50 and 70 combined)
- In the upper right corner, we have an area of 70*6 = 420
- In the lower left corner, we have an area of 50*8 = 400
- In the lower right corner, we have an area of 6*8 = 48
Add up all the areas found: 3500+420+400+48 = 4368
As a way to check, using your calculator shows that 56*78 = 4368
