Answer:
The ladder reach a height 8.485 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder with the building made right angle triangle
The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse 12 ft.
The angle between the ladder and the building is 45°
The height of the ladder reach is the vertical side of the Δ
∴ h = 12 cos 45° = 6√2 = 8.485 ft.
Make the fractions improper to multiply.2 1/5 becomes 11/5 and 1 3/4 becomes 7/4. multiply the numerators then multiply the denominators. you get 77/20, which is simplest form. don't let teachers feed you that bs about it having to be a mixed number. an improper fraction is way more useful.
You multiply those and you get d = 325 m
