Answer:

The length of the ladder  = 6.5077 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A ladder leans against the side of a house

Given the angle of elevation of the ladder is 68° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 ft from the side of the house

Let 'C' be the point of observation.

Given CA= 16 ft

 From right angle triangle

     

     

     x = 16 × cos 68°

    x = 16 × 0.4067

    x = 6.5077

  x = 6.5 ft

The length of the ladder = 6.5 ft

Solve for x. The triangles in each pair are similar. <br>​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to pay very close attention to the triangle similarity statement.  This says that triangle NML is similar to triangle NVU.  But if you look at the way that triangle NVU is oriented in its appearance, it's laying on its side.  We need to set it upright so that angle N is the vertex angle, angle V is the base angle on the left, and angle U is the base angle on the right.  When we do that we see that sides NV and NM are corresponding and exist in a ratio to one another; likewise with sides VU and ML.  Setting up the proportion:

\frac{NV}{NM}=\frac{VU}{ML}

Filling in:

\frac{12}{36} =\frac{9}{9x}

Cross multiply to get

324 = 108x

and x = 3

What would you have to do to change 10 cubic feet into cubic inches? A. Multiply by 46,656 B. Divide by 1,728 C. Multiply by 1,7
Semmy [17]
1 foot = 12 inches

(1 foot)³ = (12 inches)³

12³ = 1,728 in³

To change 10 cubic feet into cubic inches

10 ft³ * 1728 in³/ft³ = 17,280 in³  Choice C. Multiply by 1,728
