Answer:

19.02 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a 20-ft ladder leans against a building so that the angle between the ground and the ladder is 72 degrees.

We can see from our attachment that ladder forms a right triangle with building and ground.

The side of 20 ft is hypotenuse and side h is the opposite side to angle 72 degree.

\text{sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

\text{sin}(72^{\circ})=\frac{h}{20}

Switch sides:

\frac{h}{20}=\text{sin}(72^{\circ})

\frac{h}{20}*20=\text{sin}(72^{\circ})*20

h=0.951056516295*20

h=19.021130

h\approx 19.02

Therefore, the ladder would reach 19.02 feet high on the building.

Sin(72°)=x÷20ft.
sin(72°)×20ft.= 19ft 252 inches
the ladder reach 19ft 252 inches tall on the building.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (-5, 0) and (4, 3)?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

y = 1/3x + 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation contains a slope and y-intercept, in the form y = mx + b. To find the slope or m, you need to plug the coordinates into the slope formula.

y2 - y1/ x2 - 1

3 - 0/ 4 - (-5)

= 3 / 9

= 1/3

Now that we know the slope, we need to plug the values of x and y to find the y-intercept.

y = 1/3x + b

3 = 1/3(4) + b

3 = 4/3 + b

5/3 = b

The equation is y = 1/3x + 5/3

Five thousand dollars is deposited into a savings account at 2.5% interest compounded continuously.
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A). A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)

B). DA/Dt = np(1+r/n)^(t)

C). A(5) =$ 5664.0

D).t = approximately 13.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)

P = $5000

n= t

r= 2.5%

After five years t = 5

A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)

A(5) = 5000(1+0.025/5)^(5*5)

A(5) = 5000(1+0.005)^(25)

A(5)= 5000(1.005)^(25)

A(5) = 5000(1.132795575)

A(5) = 5663.977875

A(5) =$ 5664.0

When the balance A= $7000

A(t) = P(1+r/n)^(nt)

7000= 5000(1+0.025/n)^(nt)

But n= t

7000= 5000(1+0.025/t)^(t²)

7000/5000= (1+0.025/t)^(t²)

1.4= (1+0.025/t)^(t²)

Using trial and error

t = approximately 13.5 years

Evaluate the given algebraic expressions replacing x with -2 and y with 1<br><br>3x^2
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2

because the information provided states that x = -2, that is what we are going to replace x with.

3(-2)^2

the next step is to evaluate the power because that is next in PEMDAS.

(-2)^2 = 4

that leaves us with:

3 * 4 = 12      ( the " * " represents the multiplication sign)

hope this helps!
