Answer:

7 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

This set up will give a right angle triangle where;

Length of the ladder is the hypotenuse = x

The distance of the ladder to the house is the adjacent = 3 feet

Angle of elevation theta = 72 degrees

Using the CAH in trigonometry identity;

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 72 = 3/hyp

hyp = 3/cos72

hyp = 3/0.4258

hyp = 7.05 feet

Hence the ladder is approximately 7 feet long

Find all numbers such that three times the number is greater than eight less than the number.
klio [65]

Answer:

ALL SUCH NUMBERS WHICH ARE GREATER THAN -4 satisfy the given condition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, assume such number = m

Now, given :

3 times the number = 3 x ( m) = 3 m

8 less than the given number =  m - 8

Now, according to the question:

3 times the number  > 8 less than the given number

or, 3 m > m - 8

or, 3m  - m > m - 8 + m

or, 2  m > - 8

or, m > - 4

Hence, all SUCH NUMBERS WHICH ARE GREATER THAN -4 satisfy the given condition.
