A ladder 10 feet long rests against a vertical wall. Let θ be the angle between the top of the ladder and the wall, and let x be

the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall, how fast does x change with respect to θ when θ=π/3?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of ladder, y = 10 ft

θ = π/3 rad

Using cosine rule,

Sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin θ = x/y

Sin θ = x/10

Differentiating both sides with respect to dθ,

10 × cos θ × dθ = dx

10 cos θ = dx/dθ

dx/dθ = 10 × cos π/3

= 5 ft/radians.

How to solve for x???
Talja [164]

Answer:

B) 10\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically it's divided into 3 similar triangles and using ratios we can try to find x

long side/short side = long side/short side

(20)/(x) = (x)/(15)

x^{2} = 300

x =  10\sqrt{3}

I really hope I didn't make that too complicated-

The pie graph shows Katie and David's household budget. The 25% mark represents utilities. If Katie and David spend $400 a month
Vesnalui [34]
Answer is B. $1,600

Given:
part = $400
percentage of the part = 25%
whole = ?

To get the whole or total monthly budget, simply divide the part by its corresponding percentage.

$400 / 0.25 = $1600

Other formulas to consider if other facts are given:

% of Part to the Whole = Part/Whole * 100%
                                     = 400/1600 * 100% 
                                     = 0.25 * 100%
                                     = 25%

Value of the part of a whole = Whole * % of part
                                              = 1600 * 25%/100% 
                                              = 400

PLEASE QUICKLY!!!!Find the specified vector or scalar. Show your work. u = -4i + 1j and v = 4i + 1j; Find ‖u +v ‖.
juin [17]
To add vectors, simply add the first coordinates from each and then add the second coordinates from each.  In other words, add the i terms together and then add the j terms together.  So u + v = <0, 2>.

given a storm has a destruction area in the shape of a square, give the total area affected if the side lengths of the square we
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

to find area, multiply the two sides together. since it tells us that this is a square we can assume both sides are the same length (315.2). multiply 315.2 and 315.2, and you get 99,351.04.
