Answer: Yes the ladder will reach the fire
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the attached diagram for details.
The fire is at point A, while the top of the truck is at point C. The fire is actually burning at 22 feet off the ground, but because the fire truck itself is already 6 feet off the ground, the point that would serve as the base of the building would be 16 feet from the third floor (which is 22 feet minus 6 feet). Hence, point A to point B is 16 feet. So we need to calculate if line AC (from the truck to the fire at the third floor, labeled as b) shall equal the length of the ladder which is 16-foot long.
The angle of the ladder with the top of the truck is 75 degrees. Therefore,
Sin 75 = opposite/hypotenuse
Sin 75 = 16/b
By cross multiplication we now have
b = 16/Sin 75
b = 16/0.9659
b = 16.56
If the distance from A to C is 16.56 feet, then the 16-foot long ladder would reach the fire.
The remaining area that the grass will cover will be given by:
Area=[area of rectangle]-[area of the triangle]
area of rectangle will be:
A1=length*width
=20*8
=160 square feet
The area of the triangle will be:
A2=1/2absin theta
since the triangle is equilateral, all the angles are equal and the size of each angle is 60°. Thus the area will be:
A2=1/2*5*5sin 60
=18.3
thus the remaining area of the grass will be:
Area=160-18.3
=149.7 square feet
There you go I hope it helps

whats the question love?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
10ft + 2ft = 12ft
12ft - 6ft = 6ft
She flies an additional 2ft so you add to 10ft which becomes 12ft. She goes down 6ft so you subtract from 12ft and get 6ft.
