Answer

Find out the how high up the wall does the ladder reach .

To proof

let us assume that the height of the wall be x .

As given

A 25-foot long ladder is propped against a wall at an angle of 18° .

as shown in the diagram given below

By using the trignometric identity

cos\theta = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}

now

\theta = 18^{\circ}

Base = wall height = x

Hypotenuse = 25 foot

Put in the trignometric identity

cos18^{\circ} = \frac{x}{25}

cos18^{\circ} = \bar{0.9510565162}

x = 23.8 foot ( approx)

Therefore the height of the  ladder be 23.8 foot ( approx) .

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

A) 10x + 8 = 21

B) x = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) + 2(x + 1) + 4x = 21

4x + 6 + 2x + 2 + 4x = 21

10x + 8 = 21

10x = 13

x = 1.3 cm

Another chart question that I don’t know
zloy xaker [14]

From birth to 5yo = 91,200

from 5 to 18yo = 167,000

therefore from birth to 18yo will cost 91,200 + 167,000 which is 258,200

Since the question says per year and thats the total cost of 18 years ( from 0 years to 18), we divide it by 18.

258,200 ÷ 18 = 14,344

Answer a: 14,344
