3x² -x+4=0
We can use quadratic formula
a=3, b= -1, c=4
<h2>Answer:</h2>
8.75 feet
<h2>
Step by step:</h2>
Given that a 12 foot ladder leans against a building seven feet above the ground.
By using trigonometry ratio, the angle between the ladder and the ground will be
SinØ = opposite/ hypothenus
SinØ = 7 / 12
SinØ = 0.58333
Ø = Sin^-1(0.58333)
Ø = 35.69 degree
At what height would an 15 foot ladder touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground?
Using the same trigonometric ratios
SinØ = opposite/hypothenus
Sin 35.69 = opposite/ 15
Cross multiply
Opposite = 15 × sin 35.69
Opposite = 8.75 feet
Therefore, the ladder will touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground at height 8.75 feet.
