Answer:

11.31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this problem ladder forms a right triangle with the wall of the house and it is acts as hypotenuse, length of one leg of right triangle given to be 4 feet.

Let the ladder reaches x ft height of the house.

Hence, by Pythagoras theorem:

{12}^{2}  =  {4}^{2}  +  {x}^{2}  \\  144 = 16 + {x}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 144 - 16 \\  {x}^{2}  = 128 \\ x =  \sqrt{128}  \\ x = 11.3137085 \\ x = 11.31 \: ft

Hence, the ladder reaches 11.31 ft height of the house.

Answer:

∠TRS = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠UTS is an exterior angle of the triangle

The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, that is

∠UTS = ∠TRS + ∠RST

9x - 15 = 3x + 16 + x + 9

9x - 15 = 4x + 25 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 8

∠TRS = 3x + 16 = (3 × 8) + 16 = 24 + 16 = 40°
