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

The ratio of red poms to yellow poms on a float is 5 to 7. if there are 392 yellow poms on the float, how many red poms are ther
Marysya12 [62]
Ratio is written in x:y. therefore for this case, red:yellow
5 : 7

since the question states that there are 392 yellow poms, the 7 units represents 392 yellow poms. now you have to gind what is one unit and then multiply by 5 to find the number of red poms.

392 represents 7 units
1 unit: 392/7=56
5 units: 5×56=280 red poms

therefore the answer is 280 red poms which is C.
