From the setup of the problem, the "length of the top of the bookcase, measured along the attic ceiling" will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length "AB". We have both the angle between AB and AC and the length of AC (3.24 meters), so we can use trigonometric identities.
The cosine of the 40 degree angle between AB and AC is equivalent to the length of AC divided by the length of AB. Equivalently, we have:

where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that

which is 4.2295... meters. Converting to centimeters (multiplying by 100) we have that h = 422.95... centimeters, or if we round the value, h = 423 centimeters.
Answer is .5
move decimal place 2 places right
Answer: ( -7 , -3 )
Step by step:
The point: ( X , Y )
Left 2 units = change X by -2
So, -5 subtract by 2 equals -7
Down 3 units = change Y by -3
So, 0 subtract by 3 equals -3
Now, X = -7 and Y = -3, so the answer is ( -7 , -3 )
Hope this helps! Please tell me if I did anything wrong, thank you!

Answer:
20 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for the area of a rectangle, fill in the given information and solve for the unknown.
A = LW . . . . . . . . area is length × width
80 m² = L·(4 m)
(80 m²)/(4 m) = L = 20 m . . . . . . . divide by 4m (the coefficient of L)
The tarp is 20 meters long.
