Answer:
24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The side adjacent to the angle is given, and the hypotenuse of the triangle is the unknown. The cosine relation applies:
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
hypotenuse = ladder length = (5 ft)/cos(78°) ≈ 24.0 ft
The ladder is about 24 feet long.
Answer:
Two times at (-1,0) and (2.5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
When the graph intersects or touches x-axis, y is equal to 0
so y = -2x^2 + 3x + 5
=> 0 = -2x^2 + 3x + 5
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is equal to x = [-b +/-√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
so a = -2
b = 3
c = 5
substitute in the formula
x = [-3 +/- √(3^2 - 4x-2x5)]/2(-2)
x = [-3 +/- √(9 + 40)]/(-4)
x = [-3 +/- 7]/(-4)
x1 = (-3 + 7)/(-4) = 4/-4 = -1
x2 = (-3 - 7)/(-4) = -10/-4 = 5/2 = 2.5
so the graph has two x-intercepts (-1,0) and (2.5,0), therefore it intersects x-axis two times
Let the supplement be s.
180=s+115 => s=180-115= 65 degrees
Marcus had 5 horses and Rachel had 5 times more. She had to divide them into 5 stalls. How many are in each stall?
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason it's A is because to make the ratio 1:1 you need to have a whole number you can't have half a pencil or pen, so what you need to do is add 22 and 96 and divide you should get 59, but if you add 23 to 96 and divide you get 59.5 and you can't have half a pencil (you can but that's not what were looking for). So in problems like this add and then divide by 2 and choose whole numbers because you can't have half in ratios cause that won't give the correct answer.
