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: he is really short lol (JK ignore this answer, look at the answer below)

Answer:

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

how many inches tall is Cody now?

since Cody grew half as much he is 2 feet tall now, which is 24 inches(it's asking for the answer in inches so do not put feet).

1 feet = 12 inches.

2 feet = 24 inches.

I really need help with this problem steps

Solve for y by setting one equation =to X after that you can substitute the equation into the other one let's set the first one in X= FORM
X-7y=10
-2x+14y=-20

Add 7y to both sides of the first equation to let x stand alone
X=7y+10
Now you can substitute x on the second equation
-2 (7y+10)+14y=-20
Distribute
-14y-20+14y=-20
Add and simplify
Us cancel out =0
-20=-20
0=0
They are the same equations you can also divide the second equation by -2 which would make it look like this
X-7y=10
-2 (x-7y=10)

12r <br> r=1/6<br><br> Please show your work
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If m = 4, z = 9 and r = 1/6

1. 3 + m = 3 + 4 = 7

2. z - m = 9 - 4 = 5

3. 12r = 12 × 1/6 = 2

4. 60r - 4 = 60(1/6) - 4 = 10-4 = 6

5. 4m - 2 = 4(4) - 2 = 16-2 = 14
