A right angled triangle can be formed from the given scenario as shown below in the figure:

We have a perpendicular(opposite side), the measure of angle and we are interested in finding the hypotenuse.

sine of the angle relates its perpendicular side to hypotenuse as:

sin(x) = perpendicular/hypotenuse

⇒

Hypotenuse = Perpendicular/sin(x) = 13/sin(70) = 13.8 feet

This means, the length of the ladder is 13.8 feet, rounded to nearest tenth.

Answer:

4.7 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the base of the house.

We have been given that Eric leans a ladder against the roof of his house so that the ladder forms a 70 angle with the ground. The roof of the house is 13 feet above the ground.

Upon looking at our attached graph we can see that ladder and wall of house forms a right triangle with respect to ground, where x is adjacent and side with 13 ft length is opposite side to the angle of 70 degrees.

We know that tangent relates opposite side of a right triangle with adjacent, so we can set an equation as:

\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}

\text{tan}(70^{\circ})=\frac{13}{x}

x=\frac{13}{\text{tan}(70^{\circ})}

x=\frac{13}{2.747477419455}

x=4.7316\approx 4.7

Therefore, the bottom of ladder is 4.7 feet away from the base of the house.

If the radius of the circle is 7 cm, find its area, rounded to 2 decimal places.
stich3 [128]

Answer:

153.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area is pi*radius^2

the radius is 7, so we do pi7^2 which is 49pi

49pi is 153.93804 which is 153.94 rounded to two decimal places

What is the algebraic expression for the following word phrase: the product of 5 more than p and 7?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

"The product of 5 more than p and 7"

1) 5 more than p is written as

p+5

2) Product of above and 7 is written as

7(p+5)

Hence, our require algebraic expression is

7(p+5)

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.

Using the transformation T: (x,y) —> (x+2, y+1), find the distance CB
pshichka [43]

Answer:

The distance between CB is \sqrt[]{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the transformation T consists of a translation of 2 units to the right and 1 unit up. Then, T preserves distances(which means that it keeps distances between points the same as before applying the transformation). Then, distance CB is the sames as distance C'B'. We will use the distance formula: if we have points (x,y), (z,w) then the distance between them is given by

\sqrt[]{(x-z)^2+(y-w)^2}

In our case we have that C'=(0,3), B'=(3,4). Then, the distance between them is

\sqrt[]{(3-0)^2+(4-3)^2}= \sqrt[]{10}
