xeze [42]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

h = 19.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A 20 ft ladder 4ft from the base of the wall.

The height of the ladder, H = 20 ft

The base distance, b = 4 ft

We need to find the height of the reach. Let it is P.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

H^2=b^2+P^2\\\\P=\sqrt{H^2-b^2}\\\\P=\sqrt{20^2-4^2}\\\\=19.59\ ft

or

P = 19.6 ft

So, the height is 19.6 ft.

The population mean annual salary for environmental compliance specialists is about ​$63 comma 500. A random sample of 31 specia
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

0.0035289

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

mean annual salary = $63,500

n = sample size = 31

Standard deviation = $6,200

Firstly, we calculate the z-score of $60,500

Mathematically;

z-score = x-mean/SD/√n = (60500-63500)/6200/√(31) = -2.6941

So we want to find the probability that P(z < -2.6941)

We can get this from the standard normal table

P( z < -2.6941) = 0.0035289

Which expression is equivalent to the following expression? 10x + 3(8 - 7x)
Paladinen [302]
It is -11x + 24 because you multiply the numbers in the parentheses by 3 then collect like terms 10x +24 - 21x then you do 10x minus 24x and you get -11x+24

Given right triangle jkl, what is the value of cos(l)? five-thirteenths five-twelfths twelve-thirteenths twelve-fifths
kykrilka [37]

The value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13

<h3>How to determine the cosine ratio?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment


Start by calculating the hypotenuse (h) using

h^2 = 5^2 + 12^2

Evaluate the exponent

h^2 = 25 + 144

Evaluate the sum

h^2 = 169

Evaluate the exponent of both sides

h = 13

The cosine ratio is then calculated as:

cos(L) = KL/h

This gives

cos(L) =5/13

Hence, the value of the cosine ratio cos(L) is 5/13
