A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground.

1 answer:

8 0

To find the length of the ladder, you need to do Pythagorean theorem.
50^2 + 30^2 = x^2
2500 + 900 = x^2
x^2 =3400
x= square root of 3400
58.31 OR 10 root34

To find the angle:
tan theta = opposite/adjacent
50/30 = 5/3
theta = tan inverse of 5/3
= 59.04

Jason had to replace the floor of a triangular portion of his dining room. The portion had a height that was twice as high as th

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as $\frac{bh}{2}$ .

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value $2b$ in as $h$ in the expression, making it $\frac{b\cdot2b}{2}$ . If the area is 16, we can make the equation

$\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16$

Now to solve for b.

$\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4$

Hope this helped!

Can you help me order them from lease to greatest

Ludmilka [50]

Okay. So 3/5 in decimal form is 0.6. 7/10 in decimal form is 0.7. When you put them in order from least to greatest, the order would be 0.15, 3/5, 7/10, 0.85. Converting fractions to decimals and looking at the different places and what not could help make solving questions like these much easier.
