The two triangles are similar, so will have a direct scale factor. We can find this by using the given measurements, 10÷8=1.25. So the scale factor from the smaller to the bigger triangle is 1.25. This means that 1.25×(x+6)=AE. We can solve this as we would with a regular linear equation:
1.25(x+6)=2x+6
1.25x+7.5=2x+6
1.5=0.75x
2=x
∴ AE is 2x+6=10

A twelve-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the ladder reaches eight ft high on the wall, what is the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degree?*
Answer:
42°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, the diagram that is formed is a right angle triangle.
To solve for this, we would be using the trigonometric function of Sine.
sin θ = Opposite side/ Hypotenuse
From the question, we are told that:
12 foot ladder is leaning against a wall = Hypotenuse
The ladder reaches 8ft high on the wall = Opposite side.
Hence,
sin θ = 8ft/12ft
θ = arc sin (8ft/12ft)
= 41.810314896
Approximately to the nearest degree
θ = 42°
Therefore, the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degree is 42°
