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

An open box is to contain a volume of 3 cubic meters. Given that the material forthe sides of the box costs 6 per square meter a
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: total cost = 36/w + 36/l + 9lw

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of the rectangular box is expressed as

Volume = lwh

Where lwh represents the length, width and height of the box respectively.

Since the volume of the box = 3cm³,then

lwh = 3

h = 3/lw

Since the box is open, the surface area would be

2lh + 2wh + lw

Given that the material for the sides of the box costs 6 per square meter, the total cost for the sides is

(2lh × 6) + (2wh × 6)

Substituting h = 3/lw into the above expression, it becomes.

(2l × 3/lw × 6) + (2w× 3/lw × 6)

= 36/w + 36/l

Since the material for the bottom costs 9per square meter, the total cost for the bottom is

9 × lw = 9lw

Therefore, the total cost of the box as a function of the length land width is

36/w + 36/l + 9lw

Question #3 math help please
LiRa [457]

Answer:

x = 45.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, this is a right triangle, so there are known relationships

well to start we have to know the relationship between angles, legs and the hypotenuse

α = x°

a: adjacent

o: opposite = 5

h: hypotenuse  = 7

sin α = o/h

cos α = a/h

tan α = o/a

we see that it has (angle, hypotenuse, opposite)

is the sine

sin α = o/h

sin x = 5/7

x = sin^-1 (5/7)

x = 45.58°

if we want to round to the nearest tenth

x = 45.58° = 45.6°
