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

Find the value of the lesser root of x 2-8x+7=0
mariarad [96]
Hi there! The answer is x = 1

{x}^{2}  - 8x + 7 = 0

(x - 7)(x - 1)
Rule AB = 0, gives A = 0 or B = 0

x - 7 = 0 \:  \: or \:  \: x - 1 = 0 \\ x = 7 \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \: x   = 1
Therefore, the smallest of both roots is x = 1.

Free brainliest and what is 21/7?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

if your dividing then 3 but if you want 21 sevenths as a mixed number then it would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the quotient, you need to find out what multiplied by 7 gives you 21. (thats easy 3) so there is your answer. to find the mixed version of 21 sevenths you need to divide 21 by 7 ( literally what  i just showed...) and you get 3.

Answer:

2268\pi\ or\ 7,121.52

Step-by-step explanation:

A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 = \pi (\frac{18}{2})^2 = \pi 9^2 = 81\pi

V = A * h = 81\pi * 28 = 2268 \pi = 7,121.52
