You would divide 10.45 by .55 and you would get 19 so 19 is your answer hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:consecutive integers are represented by x, x+1 , so for this problem the greater one is represented by x + 1.
Now you need to translate the problem. the greater is seven less than 1/3 the smaller
---> x + 1 = (1/3)*x - 7 ---> now solve for x (the smaller) and x+1 (the greater)
***hint: to get rid of fractions in an equation you can always multiply EVERYTHING by the denominator , 3 in this case
The ground, the building, and the ladder form a right triangle, in which
the leaning ladder is the hypotenuse.
For the angle between the ladder and the ground, the 4-ft along the ground
is the side adjacent to the angle, and the 7-ft ladder is the hypotenuse.
(adjacent side) / (hypotenuse) = cosine of the angle.
Cosine(a) = 4/7 = 0.57143... (rounded)
Angle 'a' = <em>55.15 degrees</em> (rounded)
