Answer:
The maximum safe rescue height is 104.6 feet above the height of the ground.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider a triangle ABC where C is the point where the rescue ladder is standing and AB be the building and Ladder making an angle of 72° as shown.
We have to find the height of the building.
Let x be the height of building
Using Trigonometric ratio,





So, the maximum safe rescue height is 104.6 feet above the height of
the ground.
a common what? denominator?
There are 16 cups in 1 gallon so you would have to turn the denominator in the fraction into a 16 meaning you would multiply by 4 (because 4 goes into 16, 4 times). Your new fraction is 12/16. now you do 6 gallons*16 cups and you get 96 cups. Then you add the fraction onto 96 and you would be adding 12. Your final answer is 108 cups in 6 3/4 gallons
A)4/13 would be the larger number since if you were to try to add them, 4/13 = 40/130 and 3/10 = 39/130, 40/130 > 39/130
B) A rational number between them would be 39.5/130.
