Answer:

11.820 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 52° as the base angle. The side opposite is the height up the building where the top of the ladder rests. So, you have the relation ...

sin(52°) = height/(15 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives you ...

height = (15 ft)·sin(52°) ≈ 11.820 ft

___

You may need to round this number appropriately.

Yes I wanted to know what is the answer ​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

14 flats

5 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would do 89/6 but since that doesn’t divide nicely you can do 90/6 to get 15 then subtract 1 since the original number was 89 and you would get 14

The 14 times 6 would get you 84

Then subtract 84 from 89 and you get 5 plants left over ^^
