Answer:

The answer to your question is 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Adjacent side = b = 6 ft

Opposite side = a = 8 ft

Hypotenuse = c = ?

angle = 63°

Process

1.- Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the ladder.

                 c² = a² + b²

- Substitution

                 c² = 8² + 6²

-Simplification

                 c² = 64 + 32

                 c² = 100

                 c = \sqrt{100}

- Result

                c = 10 ft

2.- Conclusion

The ladder has a length of 10 ft

2. If the diameter of a circle is 2V10, what is the area<br> of the circle.
Sidana [21]
Area is 10pi I think Bc radius is radical 10 Bc 2 radical 10/2 is radical 10. Then we do pi times radical 10 to the second power. Radical 10 to the second power is 10 Bc we remove radical when it is to the second power. Therefore, it becomes 10 times pi or 10pi

What is 778,400,000 in scientific notation?
FinnZ [79.3K]

When working with very large or very small numbers, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers use scientific notation to express these quantities. Scientific notation is a mathematical abbreviation, based on the idea that it is easier to read an exponent than to count many zeros in a number. Very large or very small numbers need less space when written in scientific notation because the position values ​​are expressed as powers of 10. Calculations with long numbers are easier to do when using scientific notation
