For this problem, you're going to need to use trig. More specifically, you need to use the tangent function:
tan (value) = opposite/adjacent
tan 75 = opposite/8 (Here, the opposite side is the length of the ladder)
8 * tan 75 = opposite
29.8564065 = opposite
So, the ladder is 29.9 feet.
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
Answer:
Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
A person stand 10 meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving towards the intersection from the north at 13 m/s.
From Pythagorean Theorem,
(The distance between car and person)²= (The distance of the car from intersection)²+ (The distance of the person from intersection)²+
Assume that the distance of the car from the intersection and from the person be x and y at any time t respectively.
∴y²= x²+10²

Differentiating with respect to t


Since the car driving towards the intersection at 13 m/s.
so,

Now



= -12 m/s
Negative sign denotes the distance between the car and the person decrease.
Therefore the rate change of distance between the car and the person at the instant, the car is 24 m from the intersection is 12 m/s.
Answer:
Yes because she ends up back at zero
