Answer:

8.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse is the longest side

Opposite is the side opposite the angle

Adjacent is the remaining side

Draw the triangle out, and you'll find that the hypotenuse (length of ladder) is 12ft, and that you are looking for the adjacent side (length of the foot of the ladder to the building). Rule out the opposite side (side of building) as it is not needed. The appropriate trigonometric formula is then the cos(angle) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}, rearranged to find the adjacent side is adjacent = cos(angle)*hypotenuse  

substitute the values in and you get cos(46) x 12 = 8.335900446

A plane is flying from Albuquerque new Mexico to Austin Texas so far it has flown 161 miles or 23% of the total distance of the
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: 700 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 23% of the total distance of the flight from Albuquerque New Mexico to Austin Texas is 161 miles.

2. Then, keeping that information on mind, you can calculate the total distance of the flight (which you call x) as following:

\frac{161miles}{23\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}

Solve for x. Then, you obtain that the result is:

x=\frac{161miles*100\%}{23\%}\\x=700miles
