Complete Question

A twelve-foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the ladder reaches eight ft high on the wall, what is the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degree?*

Answer:

42°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the diagram that is formed is a right angle triangle.

To solve for this, we would be using the trigonometric function of Sine.

sin θ = Opposite side/ Hypotenuse

From the question, we are told that:

12 foot ladder is leaning against a wall = Hypotenuse

The ladder reaches 8ft high on the wall = Opposite side.

Hence,

sin θ = 8ft/12ft

θ = arc sin (8ft/12ft)

= 41.810314896

Approximately to the nearest degree

θ = 42°

Therefore, the angle the ladder forms with the ground to the nearest degree is 42°

The equation of a line perpendicular to y = 3 and passes through the point (24, -56).
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line y = 3 is a horizontal line with slope zero (0).

We wish to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 3.  Such a line would be a vertical one.  Vertical lines do not have slopes defined (due to division by zero).

Thus the general form of the equation of this new line is x = c.

This new line passes through (24, -56).  Thus, x must be 24:  x = 24

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 28 miles per hour relative to the water in going 45 miles upstream and then returning
Sveta_85 [38]
The speed of the current is 7 miles per
hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let × represent speed of the current.
We have been given that a motorboat
maintained a constant speed of 11 miles per
hour relative to the water in going 18 miles
upstream and then returning.
The speed of motorboat while going
upstream would be 11
The speed of motorboat while going
downstream would be 11 + 2
