A 20 ft. ladder is used against a 15 ft. wall. What is the measure of the angle made by the ladder and the ground (nearest whole

degree)? How far is the ladder from the wall on the ground (to the nearest tenth)?

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:

11.725%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

True value = 0.904 seconds

Measured time = 1.010 seconds

Experimental error :

(|measured value - True value | / true value) * 100%

(|1.010 - 0.904| ÷ 0.904) * 100%

= 0.106 / 0.904 * 100%

= 0.1172566 * 100%

= 11.725%

Lunna [17]

Answer:

0.5x7

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the original expression is 4.3*3+ 11(8.2-0.5*7)-6, according to PEMDAS multiplication takes priority over addition and subtraction,, and therefore, from the choices given, 0.5 * 7 must be performed first.

Answer:

Answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

(14x^4y^6)/(7x^8y^2)

because everything is one term, you can split into three terms

14/7, x^4 / x^8 , and y^6/y^2

multiplying these three terms will get us the starting term

14/7 = 2

x^4 / x^8

with division of exponents, you subtract the smaller exponent (4), from the big exponent (8), and leave it on the same side (bottom) as the big exponent

1/x^4

same thing with our y's

y^6/y^2

this time, the term stays on the top

y^4

take the simplified terms and multiply them together

(2) * (1/x^4) * (y^4) =

A: (2y^4) / (x^4)

Classify the number -3 into as many categories as it belongs: Natural number, whole number, integer, or rational number.
Effectus [21]
-3 is an integer and a rational number.


Natural numbers and while numbers refer to positive numbers, so -3 cannot be either of those.
