Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{2.00 in}}  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a rectangular solid is  

V = lwh

\begin{array}{rcl}V & = & lwh\\187 & = & 8.5 \times 11 \times h\\& = & 93.5h\\h & = &\dfrac{187}{93.5}\\\\& = & \textbf{2.00 in}\\\end{array}\\\text{The ream is $\large \boxed{\textbf{2.00 in}}$ thick.}

If you place a 20ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall, what is the angle measure of the ladder to the ground to the nearest d
artcher [175]

Given:

Length of the ladder = 20 ft

Distance between base of the ladder and wall = 4 ft

To find:

The angle measure of the ladder to the ground to the nearest degree.

Solution:

Ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Here, we have,

Hypotenuse = 20 ft

Base = 4 ft

In a right angle triangle,

\cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

\cos \theta=\dfrac{4}{20}

\cos \theta=\dfrac{1}{5}

Taking cos inverse on both sides, we get

\theta=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{1}{5}

\theta=78.46304^\circ

\theta\approx 78^\circ

Therefore, the correct option is A.
