18.10 = 18.1
6,324.50 = 6,324.5
perimeter = 2width + 2 length
102 = 2(x+9) + 2x
102 = 2x + 18 +2x
102 = 4x +18
84 = 4x
21 = x
Length = x = 21 inches
Width = x + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 inches
10 refers to the number of 100's
multiple 10 by 100 to get 1000
See attached picture and check solution below.
We are given with the following values:
A = length of transmission line = 96ft
B = length of shadow = 72 feet
C = distance of ladder to base of transmission line = 66 feet
Solve for angle created between the wire and tip of the shadow:
tan x = opposite/ adjacent
tan x = 96 feet / 72 feet
x = 53.13°
Solving for the height of the ladder:
tan x = Ladder length / (72-66)
tan 53.13° * (72-66) = ladder length
ladder length = 8 feet
The answer is letter "B" which is 8 feet.
