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

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

the base length of the triangle is 4 units, u can count that. and the height of triangle is 2 units, thats the dotted line one. and the equation of triangle area is (length x height) divided by 2so in this case it'll be (4x2) /2=4 square units.

What is 436/85 as a mixed number.?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

5  11/85

Step-by-step explanation:

First see how many times a whole number can be found.

436/85 = 5.1294

The denominator goes into the numerator 5 times.

Now we find a new numerator.

436 - (85 * 5) = 11 (this is the amount left over after we made 5 wholes.)

Now we see 5 11/85

It cannot be simplified further.
