Answer:
11.31 units
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + 8^2 = c^2
64 + 64 = c^2
128 = c^2
Opposite of exponents is square roots, and we need to get rid of that exponent in c^2, meaning we find the square root.
= c
c = 11.31 units
Cosα=x/L
x=Lcosα, we are told the ladder is 10ft and α=42.5 so
x=10cos42.5° ft
x≈7.37 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)

Hope it helps....!!!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
AB = c = 38
BC = a = 29
AC = b
Angle ABC = 63 degrees
Solving for AC "b":
Cosine rule: c^2 = a^2 * b^2 -2ab * cos C
38^2 = 29^2 * b^2 - (2* 29) * b * (cos 38)
1444 = 841 * b^2 - 58 * b * 0.955
(1444 + 58)/0.955 = b^2 * b
1572.77486911 = b^3
11.62935 = b
11.63 = b (rounded to two decimal places)
Now solving for angle A:
Sine rule: a/sinA = b/sinB
29/sinA = 11.63/sin(63)
sinA/29 = sin(63)/11.63
sin A = (sin(63)/11.63) * 29
sin A = 0.41731
A = sin^-1 (0.41731)
A = 24 degrees 39 minutes 53 seconds
Now solving for angle C:
Sine rule: c/sinC = b/sinB
38/sinC = 11.63/sin(63)
sinC/38 = sin(63)/11.63
sin C = (sin(63)/11.63) * 38
sin C = 0.54682
C = sin^-1 (0.54682)
C = 33 degrees 8 minutes 56 seconds
