Answer:

5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We are given tan(x)=5/12 .....(2)

2. On comparing the quantities we get that p=5 and b=12

3. We require the value of hypotenuse(h),

for this we apply the Pythagoreum theorum: p^2+b^2=h^2

⇒h^2=5^2+12^2

⇒h^2=25+144

⇒h^2=169

⇒ h=√169

⇒ h=13

Sin=p/h

p=5

h=13

Sin=5/13

kiruha [24]
Let the height be h
According to the Pythagoras Theorem,
h= root 15^2-5^2
= root 225-25
= root 200= 14.14
Thus, the ladder reaches approximately 14.14 feet from the base of the house

Please rewrite 5x − 15y = − 60 in the slope intercept form
Margarita [4]
Basically solve for y
minus 5x fromboth sides
-15y=-5x-60
divide both sides by -15
y=1/3x+4
