Answer:

  110sin(72°) feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In the right triangle with the 110 ft ladder as the hypotenuse, the side opposite the 72° angle represents the maximum height the ladder will reach. The definition of the sine function tells you ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

so the Opposite side will be ...

  ladder height = (110 ft)sin(72°)

PLEASE HELP NOW!!!<br> QRST is a square. Use the properties of a square to find the value of x.
Annette [7]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

QRST is a square.

QR = RS (sides of a square are equal)

7x - 10 = 5x + 2

7x - 5x = 10 + 2

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6

A bulb can either be on or off. A board contains 20 bulbs connected to a randomization circuit that lights up a random sequence
Step2247 [10]
The chance that any given bulb is on is equal to 1/2.  The chance that all twenty bulbs are on at the same time is (\frac{1}{2}) ^{20} = \frac{1^{20}}{2^{20}} = \frac{1}{1048576}

Given the parabola below, find the endpoints of the latus rectum. (x-2)^2=-20(y+2)
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The endpoints of the latus rectum are (12, -7) and (-8, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola with vertex at point C(x, y) = (h,k) and whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis is defined by the following formula:

(x-h)^{2} = 4\cdot p \cdot (y-k) (1)

Where:

y - Independent variable.

x - Dependent variable.

p - Distance from vertex to the focus.

h, k - Coordinates of the vertex.

The coordinates of the focus are represented by:

F(x,y) = (h, k+p) (2)

The <em>latus rectum</em> is a line segment parallel to the x-axis which contains the focus. If we know that h = 2, k = -2 and p = -5, then the latus rectum is between the following endpoints:

By (2):

F(x,y) = (2, -2-5)

F(x,y) = (2,-7)

By (1):

(x-2)^{2} = -20\cdot (-7+2)

(x-2)^{2} = 100

x - 2 = \pm 10

There are two solutions:

x_{1} = 2 + 10

x_{1} = 12

x_{2} = 2-10

x_{2} = -8

Hence, the endpoints of the latus rectum are (12, -7) and (-8, -7).
