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.

S(t)=9t-4, find S(4)
melamori03 [73]
For this problem, you need to substitute 4 in for your variable t. the original equation is S(t) and the one you need is S(4) -- in other words, evaluate this equation when t = 4.

S(4) = 9(4) - 4
S(4) = 36 - 4
S(4) = 32 is your answer.

What are the solutions to x2 – 10x = 39?
oee [108]

Answer: x=−3 or x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 39 from both sides.

x2−10x−39=39−39

x2−10x−39=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(x+3)(x−13)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

x+3=0 or x−13=0

x=−3 or x=13
