1. You have a 20 foot long ladder that you want to lean against a vertical wall. You want the top of the ladder to touch the wal

l 19 feet off the ground. What angle will the ladder form with the ground?
2. Using the same 20 foot ladder against the same vertical wall, you decide that it would be better if the ladder formed a 70 degree angle with the ground. How far up the wall will the top of the ladder reach?

3. You want to find the area of triangle BCD but all you have is the information provided in the image below. Then you realize you can use the special right triangle (30-60-90) to find the height of the triangle. Once you know the height and provided base measurement calculate the area.
What is the area of the triangle? Show all steps.

Answer:

1. The ladder forms 71.8° with the ground.

2. The top of the ladder will reach 18.79 feet up the wall.

3. Height = 8.66 cm and area = 21.65 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the angle of elevation of the ladder is \theta then we can write  

\sin  \theta = \frac{\textrm {Perpendicular}}{\textrm {Hypotenuse}} = \frac{19}{20}

⇒ \theta = \sin ^{-1}(\frac{19}{20}) = 71.8 Degrees.

Therefore, the ladder forms 71.8° with the ground. (Answer)

2.  Now, if the ladder formed a 70 degree angle with the ground and the length of the ladder remains the same as 20 feet, then we can write  

\sin 70 = \frac{\textrm {Perpendicular}}{\textrm {Hypotenuse}} =  \frac{x}{20}

⇒ x = 20 sin 70 = 18.79 feet.

Therefore, the top of the ladder will reach 18.79 feet up the wall.

3. See the attached figure.

We have, \tan 60 = \frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{BC}{5}

⇒ Height = BC = 5 tan 60 = 8.66 cm.

Therefore, the area of the triangle BCD will be = \frac{1}{2} \times CD \times BC =  \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 8.66 = 21.65 sq. cm. (Answer)

5 sweets cost 30p altogether, how much do 7 sweets cost?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The best way to find out what 7 sweets cost, firstly, you should find out what one sweet would cost. You have 5 sweets, with a total cost of 30p. You should divide 30 by 5, giving you 6p per sweet. To get the cost of 7 sweets, you have to multiply 6p by 7, giving you 42p. Therefore, the cost of 7 sweets is 42p. Hope this helps :)

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1920π

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the volume of the statue in terms of pi.

Volume of cylinder formula:

V=πr²h

V=π4²15

V=π16×15

V=240π

Then, you need to find the mass of the statue.

Mass:

Mass= density × volume

Mass=20×240π

Mass=4800π

Now, you need to find the volume. Since the sand has to weigh the same as the statue, the mass is going to stay the same. To find the volume you need to do:

V=mass of sand/density

V=4800π/2.5

That gives you your answer:

1920π

Note: I had to do the exact same problem on Khan Academy. This is right.
