For this case, we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
 We know the height of the triangle.
 We know the angle between the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse.
 We want to find the base of the triangle.
 For this, we use the following trigonometric relationship:
 tan (70) = 39 / x
 Clearing x we have:
 x = 39 / tan (70)
 x = 14.2 feet
 Answer:
 
The distance between the base of the building and the base of the ladder is:
 
x = 14.2 feet

Solve for L.<br> P = 2L + 2W
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Subtract 2W from both sides

2L = P - 2W

divide both sides by 2

L = P/2 - W

Click here What is the average rate of change for this exponential function for the interval from x=2 to x = 4? 15 10 -5 5 10 O
Triss [41]

Answer:

c. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Required

Average rate of change

This is calculated as:

Rate = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

Where

(a,b) = (2,4)

So, we have:

Rate = \frac{f(4) - f(2)}{4 - 2}

Rate = \frac{f(4) - f(2)}{2}

Using the attached graph, we have:

f(2) = 4

f(4) = 16

So, we have:

Rate = \frac{16- 4}{2}

Rate = \frac{12}{2}

Rate = 6

2. A square window has an area of 788 in2.
Xelga [282]
PART A:
1) plug in values given to you in the area formula: A=b^2--> 788=s^2
2) solve for x: x=28.071

PART B:
1) find he perimeter formula of a square: P=4s s being a side
2) plug in the value you got for part a as s: P=4(28.071) therefore, P=112.285
