Answer:

12 feet ladder

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of 12 ft ladder :

Using Pythagoras :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 57 = h / 12

1.5398649 * 12 = 18.48 feets

For 16 feet ladder :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 30 = h / 16

0.5773502 * 16 = 9.24 feets

18.48 > 9.24

Hence, he'll climb the 12 feets ladder to the higher height

The mean of eight numbers is 41.  The mean of two of the numbers is 29. What is the mean of the other six numbers​
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = \frac{sum}{count}

Given the mean of 8 numbers is 41 , then

\frac{sum}{8} = 41 ( multiply both sides by 8 )

sum of 8 numbers = 328

Given the mean of 2 numbers is 29 , then

\frac{sum}{2} = 29 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

sum of 2 numbers = 58

The sum of the remaining 6 numbers = 328 - 58 = 270 , so

mean = \frac{270}{6} = 45

The mean of the other 6 numbers = 45

If carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor were not in the atmosphere, then
Savatey [412]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

D. The Earth's surface would be much colder than it is.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

This is because warm temperatures and high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide happen at about the same time. So if atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations double warm up by between 2 and 4.5 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, water vapor promotes, as the greatest contributor, to the Earth’s greenhouse effect. In this way, if carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor were not in the atmosphere, then it's obvious that the Earth's surface would be much colder than it is.
