Answer: 9.2m

Explanation: According to SOH CAH TOA

Cos 60° = Adjacent/Hypotenuse (CAH)

Given theta = 60° which is the elevation angle

Adjacent side which is the base of the set up (distance from the ladder to the wall) is 4.6m

Cos60° = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Cos 60° = 4.6/Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 4.6/cos60°

Hypotenuse = 9.2m

The hypotenuse always the slanting and longest side of the set up which is the ladder according to the question.

Answer: D. 9.2 m

The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 60º and the foot of the ladder is 4.6 m away from the wall. The length of the ladder is:____________A. 2.3 mB. 4.6 mC. 7.8 mD. 9.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Angle of elevation A= 60°

Distance from the foot of the ladder to the wall x= 4.6m

Length of the ladder = L

CosA = adjacent/hypothenus = x/L

L = x/cosA

L = 4.6/cos60°

L = 9.2m

The length of the ladder is 9.2m

Three red rods are 2cm longer than two blue rods. Three blue rods are 2cm longer than four red rods. How long is each rod?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of each red rod in centimeters

y ----> the length of each blue rod in centimeters

we know that

3x=2y+2 ----> equation A

3y=4x+2 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (10,14)

see the attached figure

therefore

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm
