Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Find a
Take log of both sides

Apply law of logarithm

Divide both sides by a

Multiply both sides by -9

Apply law of logarithm

Cancel out log

Rewrite as:

Apply law of indices


Answer:
Slope sides are;
5.07 m and 6.39 m
Step-by-step explanation:
I've attached a drawn diagram showing a triangle representing the roof slopes and I have attached it.
From the image attached, the missing angle is θ.
From sum of angles in a triangle,
θ = 180 - (44 + 34)
θ = 102°
Now, a & b represent the slopes of the roof.
Thus, using law of sines which is that;
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C, we can solve as follows;
a/sin 34 = 9/sin 102
a = (9 × sin 34)/sin 102
a = (9 × 0.5512)/0.9781
a = 5.07 m
b/sin 44 = 9/sin 102
b = (9 × sin 44)/sin 102
b = (9 × 0.6947)/0.9781
b = 6.39 m
