Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the formula for the hypotenuse of a right triangle:

c=√ (a^2+b^2)

Let's plug in the values.

c = √ (48^2 + 55^2)

= √ (2304 + 3025)

= √ (5329)

= 73

So, the hypotenuse, or c, is 73.

Answer:

73 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse² = base² + height²

Hypotenuse² = 48² + 55²

Hypotenuse² = 5329

Hypotenuse = sqrt(5329)

Hypotenuse = 73 in

a ladder leans against the sufe of a house. the angle of elevation of the ladder is 70 degrees when the bottom of the ladder is

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

≈ 35.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°

Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.

cos70° = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{12}{l}$ ( multiply both sides by l )

l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )

l = $\frac{12}{cos70}$ ≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long
