Answer:
25.61 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.
Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.
One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have
sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet
multiply both sides by 26 feet
sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite
= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(a) one parallelogram
(b) opposite sides are 3 inches and 4 inches. Opposite angles are 45° and 135°
(c) yes, all side lengths can be determined, see (b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite sides of a parallelogram are the same length, so if one side is 3 inches, so is the opposite side. Similarly, if one side is 4 inches, so is the opposite side. If sides have different lengths, they must be adjacent sides. The given numbers tell us the lengths of all of the sides.
The 4 inch sides are adjacent to the 3 inch sides. Thus the angle between a 4 inch side and a 3 inch side must be 45°. Opposite angles are congruent, and adjacent angles are supplementary, so specifying one angle specifies them all.
Only one parallelogram can be formed with these sides and angles. (The acute angle can be at the left end or the right end of the long side. This gives rise to two possible congruent orientations of the parallelogram. Because these are congruent, we claim only one parallelogram is possible. Each is a reflection of the other.)
Answer:
-82/3
Step-by-step explanation:
first divide -8/9 by -2/3
-8/9 ➗ -2/3 =-8/9*3/-2 =4/3
multiply 4/3 by -41/2
4/3*-41/2 = -82/3
Answer:
-130.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The average of the two slope values is ...
(-148.8 -112.8)/2 = -261.6/2 = -130.8
The slope of the tangent line at t=15 is approximately -130.8.
