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)

I need to know the distance between points x and y
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is given by: d(P, Q) = √ (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 {Distance formula} 2. Distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin is given by d(0,P) = √ x2 + y2.

Paul owes Paula 35 cents and has a pocket full of 5-cent coins, 10-cent coins, and 25-cent coins that he can use to pay her. Wha
kykrilka [37]
So, what is the case in which he uses the least coins? can he use 1 coin? no, there isn't a 35 cent coin. can he use 2 coins? yes! he can use 25+10 cent coins!

now, the largest number of coins means the coins of the smallest value: so using only 5 cent coins. How many would this be?

we have to divide:

35/5=7

so we would use 7 coins.

And the difference is 5: 7-2 is 5.
