Answer:

18.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

\tan M = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}=\frac{x}{5.4}

tanM=

adjacent

opposite

5.4

\tan 74=\frac{x}{5.4}

tan74=

5.4

5.4\tan 74=x

5.4tan74=x

Cross multiply.

x=18.832\approx \mathbf{18.8}\text{ feet}

x=18.832≈18.8 feet

Type into calculator and roundto the nearest tenth of a foot.

5.4

18.8

A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 73°, and the top of the ladder is 14 ft abov

Elena L [17]

Answer:

4.3 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 73°

Horizontal distance from foot of ladder to bottom of wall = x feets

Height of ladder = 14 feets

The horizontal distance, x :

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 14 / x

Tan 73 = 14 / x

3.2708526 * x = 14

x = 14 / 3.2708526

x = 4.2802295

x = 4.3 feets

Answer:

Two triangles are said to be similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides are in proportion . In other words, similar triangles are the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. The triangles are congruent if, in addition to this, their corresponding sides are of equal length.

Sally used all of the paint shown to make a certain tint of orange paint. How many pints of red paint should be mixed with 24 pi

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

18 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, three pint of yellow paint was mixed with four pint of red paint. Let x represent the number of yellow paint and let y represent the number of red paint. Therefore, the ratio of the two paints is:

x/y = 3/4

x = (3/4)y

To calculate the number of red paints (x) that is needed to be mixed with 24 pints of yellow paint, we use the equation and substitute y as 24. Hence:

x = (3/4)y

x = (3/4) * 24

x = 18 pints
