a 10 ft ladder leans against a wall with its foot braced 3ft. from wall's base how far up the wall does the ladder resach

1 answer:

6 0

Ladder makes a right triangle with the wall and ground. The hypotenuse = length of the ladder = 10 ft
Let the height be h
By Pythagorean theorem
10^2 = 3^2 + h^2
h^2 = 10^2 - 3^2 = 100 - 9 = 91
h = sqrt( 91) = 9.54 ft

Find sin 2a and cot 2a:

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$sin(2\alpha )=2(\frac{5}{12})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{10}{13}\\cot(2\alpha ) = \frac{16511}{18720}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{if } cos(\alpha)=\frac{12}{13}\\\text{That must mean we have a triangle with base 12, and hypotenuse 13.}\\\text{Using Pythagoras, we can determine the base of the triangle must be 5.}\\a^2+b^2=c^2 \text{, where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the two other sides.}\\c^2-b^2=a^2\\\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\\\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=\sqrt{169-144}=\sqrt{25}=5\\\text{Therefore, }sin(\alpha) = \frac{5}{12}\\sin(2\alpha)=2sin(\alpha )cos(\alpha)\\\text{(From double angle formulae identities)}\\$

$sin(2\alpha )=2(\frac{5}{12})(\frac{12}{13})=\frac{10}{13}\\cos(2\alpha )=cos^2(\alpha)-sin^2(\alpha)\\cos(2\alpha )=(\frac{12}{13})^2-(\frac{5}{12})^2=\frac{16511}{24336}\\cot(2\alpha)=\frac{cos(2\alpha)}{sin(2\alpha)}=\frac{\frac{16511}{24336}}{\frac{10}{13}}=\frac{16511}{18720}$

The population, p, of a town after t years is represented using the equation p=10000(1.04)^-t Which of the following is an equiv

Lisa [10]

Answer:

p=10000(26/25)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering that the population, p, of a town after t years is represented using the equation p=10000(1.04)^-t

The equation is equivalent to p=10000(26/25)t, because;

26/25 = 1.04

Hence; p=10000(26/25)t =p=10000(1.04)^t
