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

Which of the following statement(S) are true of the discriminant?
lana [24]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    A, C, D

Discussion:

The solution of the quadratic equation  ax^2 + bx + c = 0  is


x =        ( -b  +\-   (b^2 - 4ac) ^ (1/2) ) /2a


The expression b^2 - 4ac is called the discriminant, occurs in the numerator of the solution,  and also occurs inside a square root (called a radicand).

The question, while intelligible, should be stated more clearly.  

Regards, MrB
