Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't need the Law of Cosines, the Law of sines if what you need. You can't use the Law of Cosines because in order to find side a, you would need the length of side c and you don't have it. Using the Law of Sines is appropriate, knowing that angle B = 55:
and solving for a:
so
a = 143.0
Answer: 9.19 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Sin α = opposite side / hypotenuse
Where α is the angle of elevation of the ladder to the ground, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle (in this case is the length of the ladder), and the opposite side (x) is distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.
Replacing with the values given:
Sin 45 = x/ 13
Solving for x
sin45 (13) =x
x= 9.19 ft
