Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
square of 15 + square of x = square of 21
225 + square of x = 441
441 - 225 = 216
x = 216
Answer:
x=−y−1
Step-by-step explanation:
y=−x−1
Step 1: Flip the equation.
−x−1=y
Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.
−x−1+1=y+1
−x=y+1
Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.
−x
−1
=
y+1
−1
x=−y−1

Answer:
24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The side adjacent to the angle is given, and the hypotenuse of the triangle is the unknown. The cosine relation applies:
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
hypotenuse = ladder length = (5 ft)/cos(78°) ≈ 24.0 ft
The ladder is about 24 feet long.
