Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the board, 12 feet, will be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.  The measure of the distance from the board to the wall will be the unknown leg.  This is adjacent to the 60° angle.  This gives us the ratio

adjacent/hypotenuse, which is the ratio for cosine.  This gives us the equation

cos 60 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12:

12(cos 60) = (x/12)(12)

12(cos 60) = x

6 = x

The board is 6 feet from the wall.

Answer:

  \textbf{C. }\overline{AB}\\\textbf{D. }\overline{BA}

Step-by-step explanation:

The letters designating the end points of the segment may be listed in either order. The symbol over the pair of letters is a bar with no arrows on it.

__

Arrows on the bar over the point names indicate a ray (arrow to the right) or a line (double-ended arrow). This is only a segment, which does not extend beyond its end points.

What are the 2 numbers when 30 is the product and -11 is the sum
MArishka [77]

the answer would be -5 and -6.

-5 + -6 = -11 and -5 * -6 = 30 because when multiplying, you cancel out the negative sign when you've got an even amount of negatives.
