Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet

The height of the wall, h = 15 ft

We know that,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}

h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{20}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{15}{20})\\\\\theta=48.59^{\circ}

Now using Pythagoras theoerm,

b=\sqrt{H^2-h^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{20^2-15^2}\\\\b=13.2\ ft

Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.

Answer:

a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  =  \frac{10}{7}  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +  \frac{3}{7}  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +   \frac{1}{\frac{7}{3} }  \\  \\ a +  \frac{1}{b +  \frac{1}{c} }  = 1 +   \frac{1}{2 + \frac{1}{3} }  \\  \\ equating \: like \: terms \: on \: both \: sides \\  \\ a = 1 \\  \\ b = 2 \\  \\ c = 3
