Answer:
The length of the ladder = 6.5077 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given A ladder leans against the side of a house
Given the angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 ft from the side of the house
Let 'C' be the point of observation.
Given CA= 16 ft
From right angle triangle
x = 16 × cos 68°
x = 16 × 0.4067
x = 6.5077
x = 6.5 ft
The length of the ladder = 6.5 ft
When x=-5, y=(1/5)*(-5)-1=-2, so the first order pair is (-5,-2)
when y=-1, -1=(1/5)x-1, (1/5)x=0, x=0, so the second ordered pair is (0, -1)

Answer:
a = 1.95
Step-by-step explanation:
40a - 61 = 17
40a - 61 + 61 = 17 + 61
40a = 78
40a / 40 = 78 / 40
a = 1.95
