We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: $18,552.9

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

currency on hand = $100,000 Brazilian dollar.

curreach desired = us dollars.

if $1 USD = $5.39 Brazilian dollar.

therefore;

$100,000 Brazilia USD

= $100,000/5.39

= $18552.9 USD.

The desired amount in US dollars is $18,552.9

The three little lines through the sides of the triangle mean all three sides are equal. Because all three sides are equal the three inside angles would aso be equal.


The three angles of a triangle need to equal 180, so we can divide 180 by 3 to find what each angle is:

180 / 3 = 60.


Now we can set the equation with x in it to equal 60:


7x +4 = 60

Subtract 4 from each side:

7x = 56

Divide each side by 7:

x = 56 / 7

x = 8

Which of the following are vertical asymptotes of the function y = 2cot(3x) + 4? Check all that apply. A.x = pi/3 B.x = +/- pi/2
Kisachek [45]
Vertical asymptotes occur when the denominator of a rational is 0, whilst not zeroing out the numerator, making the rational, undefined, in this case

\bf y=2cot(3x)+4\implies y=2\cdot \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(3x)}+4\impliedby \textit{if \underline{sin(3x)} turns to 0}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{let's check}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;A)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3\frac{\pi }{3} \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( \pi \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined

\bf B)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3\frac{\pm\pi }{2} \right)}\implies\cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( \frac{\pm3\pi }{2} \right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{\pm 1}\implies \pm cos(3x)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;C)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin\left( 3(2\pi )\right)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(6\pi )}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined&#10;\\\\\\&#10;D)\qquad \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(3(0))}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{sin(0)}\implies \cfrac{cos(3x)}{0}\impliedby unde f ined
