The question describes a right triangle with hypotenuse as 9 and one of the angles as 75 degrees. We are looking for the length of the leg adjacent the given angle 75 degrees.

Recall that:

\cos{\theta}=\cfrac{adj}{hyp}\\ \\ \Rightarrow\cos75^o=\cfrac{x}{9}\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=9\cos75^o=9(0.2588)=2.3 ft.

A taxi service charges a flat fee of $1.25 and $0.75 per mile. if henri has $14.00, which of the following shows the number of m
andrey2020 [161]
Option m = 17

y = total cost of the service
m = number of miles run

y = 1.25 + 0.75 m

Equal the cost to the amount available by Henri

14 = 1.25 + 0.75m

Solve for m

m = (14 - 1.25)/0.75 = 12.75 / 0.75 = 17  miles.

How far up the house would a ladder be resting if it is 25 ft long and 3 ft
Lena [83]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The last one is absurd. You can't have a ladder reaching higher than itself. The question is a Pythagorean problem.

Givens

a = 3

b = ?

c = 25 feet

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Solution

3^2 + b^2 = 25^2

9 + b^2 = 625                  Subtract 9 from both sides.

b^2 = 625 - 9

b^2 = 616                        Take the square root of both sides.

b = sqrt(616)

b = 24.8
