Answer:

The angles are 69.2 degrees and 20.8 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles, when added together, = 90°

We’ll call the first unknown angle a and the second angle b

b = a - 48.4

a + b = 90

So let’s substitute in for b in the second equation:

a + a - 48.4 = 90

2a - 48.4 = 90

2a = 138.4

a = 69.2

69.2 - 48.4 = 20.8 = b

Now, does a + b = 90?

69.2 + 20.8 = 90

A painter leans a 15 ft ladder against a building. The base of the ladder is 6 ft from the building. To the nearest foot, how hi

stiv31 [10]

Using the Pythagoras theorem

15^2 = x^2 + h^2 where h = height of ladder on the nuiding

h^2 = 15^2 - 6^2 = 189

= 13.75 ft to nearest hundredth

Lf x+1/x=12 then find the value of x3+1/x3

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

First we find what x is:
x + 1/x = 12
x + 1 = 12x
1 = 12x - x
1 = 11x
1/11 = x
Or x = 1/11

Plug x value in x^3 + 1/x^3

(1/11)^3 + 1/(1/11)^3
= (1^3/11^3)+ 1/(1^3/11^3)
= (1/1331 + 1)/1/1331
= (1/1331 + 1331/1331)/1/1331
= 1332/1331 x 1331/1
= 1332/1
= 1332

Therefore, x^3 + 1/x^3 = 1332
