Answer:
A = 153.94 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
B has to be 70° and A has to be 115° so I’m confused by your options
-2x-y=3 ...(1)
x+2y=4 ...(2)
multiply (2) by 2 and add to (1)
-2x-y+2x+4y=3+8
3y=11
y=11/3
from (2)
x=4-2y=4-2(11/3)
or x=4-(22/3)
=(12-22)/3=-10/3
DBH make a triangle.
The three inside angles of a triangle need to equal 180
H = 180 - B - D
H = 180 - 39 - 36 = 105
H and X make a straight line that equals 180 degrees
X = 180 - H
X = 180 - 105 = 75 degrees.
Cosα=x/L
L=x/cosα, we are told that the ladder base is 48 ft from the base of the wall and α=39° so:
L=48/cos39 ft
L≈61.76 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
