A ladder leans against a 22-feet-tall apple tree. The base of the ladder forms a 42° angle with the ground. Approximately how ta
1 answer:
(D) 33 feet
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Height of the tree, h = 22 feet
angle, θ = 42°
Length of the ladder, l = ?
We know:
sin θ = Perpendicular / hypotenuse
So,
Sin θ = height of the tree / length of the ladder
l = 32.84 feet ≈ 33 feet
Therefore, the length of the ladder be to reach the top of the apple tree is 33 feet.

a) The first integral corresponds to the area under y = f(x) on the interval [0, 3], which is a right triangle with base 3 and height 5, hence the integral is
b) The integral is zero since the areas under the curve over [3, 4] and [4, 5] are equal but opposite in sign. In other words, on the interval [3, 5], f(x) is symmetric and odd about x = 4, so
c) The integral over [5, 9] is the negative of the area of a rectangle with length 9 - 5 = 4 and height 5, so
Then by linearity, we have
