Answer: the length of the ladder is 40 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the wall and the ground.

The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

The distance of the base of the ladder due west of the burning building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the length of the ladder, h, we would apply the cosine trigonometric ratio. It is expressed as

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos 51 = 25/h

h = 25/Cos 51 = 25/0.6293

h = 40 meters to the nearest meter.

Pls explain how to solve it!
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a = jd

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for a given that a/d = j

To do so we want to isolate a (get a by itself )

We can do this by using inverse operations.

We would want to get rid of the d

A is being divided by d.

The inverse of division is multiplication so to get rid of the d we multiply a/d by d but whatever we do to one side we must do to the other so we multiply both sides by d

a/d * d = a

j * d = jd

we are then left with a = jd

And we are done!

Riley rides his bicycle 1.8 km to Jillian’s house. On the way back, he takes a route that is 740 m shorter than the first route.
postnew [5]
1.8 km >> 1,800 m
1,800 - 740 = 1,060 m
1,060 m >> 1.06 km
The shorter route is 1.06 km.
