Here we have a right triangle with hypotenuse h, which is to be found.  The top of the ladder is 30 feet above the ground, and that distance is opposite the 42 degree angle mentioned.   Use the sine function to determine the hypotenuse, h:

sin 42 deg = opp / hyp, or     hyp*sin 42 deg = 30 ft.  Then hyp = (30 ft)(sin 42), which in turn equals       hyp = (30 ft) / (0.669) = 44.8 feet (answer)

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 120. What is the greatest of these integers? HELP ME IT'S DUE TODAY!!!
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

<h3>               41</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

The consecutive integers are increasing by 1

x ← the smallest integer

x+1 ← the middle integer

x+1+1 = x+2   ← the largest integer

x + x+1 + x+2 = 120

   3x + 3 = 120

      ÷3        ÷3

      x + 1 = 40

         -1       -1

        x = 39

x+2 = 39 + 2 = 41
