A roofer props a ladder against a wall so that the top of the ladder reaches a 30-foot roof that needs repair. If the angle of e

levation from the bottom of the ladder to the roof is 55°, how far is the ladder from the base of the wall? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Set this up like a right triangle with the height of the triangle as 30, the angle across from that side, the reference angle, as 55, and the base is your unknown, x.  This means that we have the angle, the side across from it, and the side adjacent to it.  That sounds like the tangent ratio to me!  Tangent of the angle is the side opposite over the side adjacent: tan(55)= \frac{30}{x}.  Solving for x: x= \frac{30}{tan(55)}.  Do that on your calculator in degree mode to get that the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is 21 feet

If my heart beats 2790 times every three quarters of an hour, what is your heart rate per minute?
kodGreya [7K]

Your heart rate is the number of times each minute that your heart beats, which is normally between 60 and 100 times per minute for adults. Your pulse is a way you can feel each time your heart beats. Measuring your heart rate helps you monitor your own health and know if you’re exercising at the right level to get the most benefits to your health.

Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise). Knowing how to take your pulse can help you evaluate your exercise program.

Explain how you determine an equation for a line using a table of input/output values.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Example :

            x               y
            1               3
            2               6
            3               9
            4               12

first thing u do is pick any 2 points (x,y) from ur table

(1,3) and (2,6)
now we sub those into the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to find the slope
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(1,3)....x1 = 1 and y1 = 3
(2,6)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 6
sub
slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 1) = 3/1 = 3

now we use slope intercept formula y = mx + b
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
use any point off ur table...(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 3(1) + b
3 = 3 + b
3 - 3 = b
0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....which can be written as y = 3x...and if u sub any of ur points into this equation, they should make the equation true....if they dont, then it is not correct

and if u need it in standard form..
y = 3x
-3x + y = 0
3x - y = 0 ...this is standard form
