Answer:

Alec is climbing 17 rungs on the ladder of 14 feet ( including first and last rung ) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the ladder = 14 foot

Distance between Rungs in ladder =  \frac{3}{4}

There is one foot of space on each end of the ladder before the first and last rung .  

To Find:

Number of  rungs are on the ladder =?

Solution:

Let us assume there are 3 rungs. Between 3 rungs there will be two spaces. between four rungs there will be 3 spaces , so between n + 1  rungs there will be n spaces.

Given that length of the ladder = 14 feet

There is one foot of space on each end before the first and last rung.

So length of the ladder between first and last rung = 14 – 2  ( 1 foot of each side) = 12 feet

As distance between each rung = \frac{3}{4}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet =\frac{( 12)}{\frac{3}{4}}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet=   \frac{(12\times4)}{3}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet=\frac{(48)}{3}

Number of  \frac{3}{4}  spaces in ladder of 12 feet =16

And as for n spaces there will be n + 1 rungs, so for 16 spaces there will be 16 + 1 = 17 rungs.

frez [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

49.4 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In Triangle AXY,

We want to determine the angle of elevation from the point  is standing to the top of the flagpole, which is the angle at V in the diagram.

In Triangle XVY

|VY|=36 feet

Therefore, the angle of elevation from the point  is standing to the top of the flagpole is 49.4 degree to the nearest tenth of a degree.

I have done this for a million times and I always get this one wrong I need the correct answer
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

A, B, and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

HEY!! remember that if a number has ^2, it basically means it's multiplied by itself. for example:

5^2 = 5 x 5

aka, 25.

You can use this to check each of the answers in your formula, like this:

if x=6, then:

x^2 < 100

6 x 6 = 36

36 < 100

A is one of your correct answers!

Also remember, if you multiply a negative by a negative, it becomes positive.

-5 x -5 = 25

-10 x -10 = 100
