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.

BRAINLIEST!!<br> 1. Identify the domain and range of each function.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The fourth listed answer:

Domain: All Real numbers

Range : { f{x) | f(x) \leq 0, f(x) = 1 }

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain consists of all Real numbers (notice that you have a well defined f(x) value for all possible x on the horizontal axis.

The Range is associated with the set of those f(x) values (on the vertical axis) that are connected via the functional relationship with a value  "x" of the domain. The line with positive slope extends to all f(x) values that are \leq 0 (smaller than or equal to zero). While the flat horizontal line on the right of the plot corresponds to the line f(x) =1 (only one value of f(x) [1} connects with the x-values of the Domain that are larger than 3.
