Answer: The base of the ladder would be 6 ft away from the house.

Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the diagram attached for details.

The ladder is represented by line HB and the length of the ladder is given as 25 ft. Also to be safely placed against the wall, the ladder should be placed at an angle of elevation of 76 degrees, hence angle B is labeled 76. The wall of the house itself is line HG. The base of the wall is point G, so the distance from the house to the base of the ladder would be line GB (labeled as ‘h’). Having identified two sides (one side is yet unknown) and a reference angle, we can use trigonometric ratios.

With the adjacent (side between the right angle and the reference angle) and the hypotenuse (side facing the right angle), we can now use the Cosine ratio;

CosB = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos76 = h/25

By cross multiplication we now have Cos76 x 25 = h

0.2419 x 25 = h

h = 6.0475

Approximately h, equals 6.

Therefore the base of the ladder would be 6 ft away from the house

The population of Mexico has been increasing at an annual rate of 1.7%. If the population was 100,350,000 in the year 2000, pred
Svetllana [295]

We can withdraw a equation to give mexico population

P = M.(1 + i)^t

So,

First of all, how many years passed? 2015 - 2000 = 15. Our time is 15, our annual rate is 1,7%, time to calc.

P = 100350000.(1 + 1,7%)^15

1,7% = 0,017

P = 100350000.(1 + 0,017)^15

P = 100350000.(1,017)^15

P = 100350000.1,2876988084901218382866596204289

P = 129220575,43198372647206629291004

Rounding

P = 129,220,575

All help is appreciated. Find m
Annette [7]

Answer:

B.) 73°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find m<A, first you must find it's supplementary angle. In order to do this, you must determine the missing interior angle. We'll call the missing angle x

A pentagon has 540°. Add up the known angles.

96°+118°+115°+104°+x = 540°

433°+x = 540°

x = 107°

Now that we know the value of x, we can find the m<A. Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°, which is a flat line. We can see in the diagram that m<a + 107° is a flat line, meaning m<a + 107° = 180°

Solve accordingly.

m<a + 107° = 180°

m<a = 73°
