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

Calculate the state income tax owed on a $90,000<br> per year salary.<br> tax = $[?]
lakkis [162]

Answer:

$4918

Step-by-step explanation:

first income must be divided according to tax bracket

2% tax on first 3000 income= 2% of $3000=$60

3% tax on income after first 3000 but upto 5000= 5000-3000= $2000

=3% of 2000= $60

5% tax on income after second 5000 but upto 12000= 17000-5000

=12000 5% of $12000= $600

Lastly, 5.75% income over 17000=

90000-17000= $73000 so, 5.75 % of 73000= $4197.5

tax= $60+60+600+4197.5

= $4917.5

= $4918
