Answer:

16°

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder leans against a building . The foot of the ladder is 2 feet from the building and reaches to a point 7 feet high on the building . The measured angle formed by the ladder and building can be computed below.

The illustration forms a right angle triangle. Two sides are given and we are told to find an angle

Distance form the foot of the ladder to the building = 2 feet

The ladder reaches a point in the building which is the height of the building the ladder head started from = 7 feet

Using SOHCAHTOA principle

tan ∅ = opposite /adjacent

where

opposite = 2 ft

adjacent = 7 ft

∅ = angle formed by the ladder and the building

tan ∅ = 2/7

∅ = tan⁻¹ 2/7

∅ =  15.9453959

∅ ≈ 16°

Over the last three evenings, Rita received a total of 91 phone calls at the call center. The third evening, she received 2 time
tatyana61 [14]

Rita received 24 phone calls on the first evening, and 19 phone calls on the second evening and 48 phone calls on the third evening at the call center.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given details,

Rita received a total of 91 phone calls at the call center over the last three evenings.

Let us assume the number of phone calls Rita received in the first evening is X.

The second evening Rita received 5 fewer calls than the first evening

=>X-5

The third evening Rita received 2 times as any calls as the first evening

=>2X

Now as given sum of total number of calls received in the three evenings is

X + X-5 + 2X = 91

4X - 5 = 91

4X = 96

X =24.

Therefore total calls received on first evening is X = 24

On the second evening X-5 = 24-5 = 19

On the third evening 2X = 48.

Again using the Pythagorean Theorem:

h^2=x^2+y^2, where h is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and x and y are the side lengths.  You are given that the hypotenuse is 34 ft and the base side is 16ft. Let h=34, x=16, and y=height, then you have:

34^2=16^2+y^2

y^2=34^2-16^2

y^2=1156-256

y^2=900

y=√900

y=30 ft

So the ladder will reach a spot 30 feet high on the building.
