Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the house and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height, h from the top of the ladder to the base of the house represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the house represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the height, h that the ladder reaches, we would apply

the Sine trigonometric ratio.

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Sin 62 = h/12

h = 12Sin62

h = 12 × 0.8829

h = 10.6 feet

<EFD is also shown as e on the diagram.  It is 90 degrees.  <EFG is made up of the same two lines and is equal to 90 degrees (shown by the little box) so <EFD must be equivalent.

In scientific notation, how can you tell if it is less than or greater than 1? Explain
svlad2 [7]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

In scientific notation, you can tell that it is greater or less than 1 by looking at the exponent. The scientific notation looks like _.__×10⁻. Note: The little lines are blanks for you to fill in. The dot at the bottom is a decimal.

If the exponent on top of 10 is positive, you are moving the decimal to the right side, making the number greater.

If the exponent on top of 10 is negative, you are moving the decimal to the left side, making it smaller and smaller.

By those statements, you can tell if a number is greater or less than 1 by looking at the exponent.
