A ladder leaning against a building makes an angle of 78 degrees with the ground. The foot of the ladder is 5 feet from the buil
ding. How long is the ladder?
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
24 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The side adjacent to the angle is given, and the hypotenuse of the triangle is the unknown. The cosine relation applies:
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
hypotenuse = ladder length = (5 ft)/cos(78°) ≈ 24.0 ft
The ladder is about 24 feet long.

Answer:
y = -2/3 x + 5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
y = -2/3 x + b
1 = -2/3 × 1 + b
3/3 + 2/3 = b
b = 5/3
y = -2/3 x + 5/3
They are equal...1/5 is half of 2/10

answer x = 225 and y = -135
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y = 90 and x= 90-y and x -y = 360 so 90-y -y = 360
13.6 = 10, 3, 0.6
thats the answer
