Answer:

≈ 35.1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The model is a right triangle with ladder being the hypotenuse and the angle between the ground and the ladder is 70°

Using the cosine ratio, with l being the length of the ladder.

cos70° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{12}{l} ( multiply both sides by l )

l × cos70° = 12 ( divide both sides by cos70° )

l = \frac{12}{cos70} ≈ 35.1 ( to the nearest tenth )

The ladder is approx 35.1 ft long

WINSTONCH [101]
P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)
So to find P(A and B) just multiply P(B|A) by P(A)

P(A and B) = 0.45*0.46 = 0.207

Alika [10]

Answer:

The average price per square yard is $8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

849 yd² = $6,796

1 yd² = x

Cross Multiply

849 yd² × x = 1 yd² × $6,796

x = 1 yd² × $6,796/849yd²

x = $8.0047114252

Approximately = $8.00

Therefore, the average price per square yard is $8.00
