For this problem, you're going to need to use trig. More specifically, you need to use the tangent function:
tan (value) = opposite/adjacent
tan 75 = opposite/8 (Here, the opposite side is the length of the ladder)
8 * tan 75 = opposite
29.8564065 = opposite
So, the ladder is 29.9 feet.
You have to substitute 3+h for x, then work out the equation.
(3+h)^2 + 3(3+h) + 5 = 9 + 6h + h^2 + 9 + 3h + 5 =
h^2 + 9h + 23
Answer B.
As an equation, we have:
69+42=5+(146-x)
You just have to simplify:
111=5+(146-x)
106=146-x
-40=-x
40=x
Your unknown number is 40
