Answer:
The answer is 25.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
30% of $85 is 25.5.
Rewriting the question, the given lengths that were cut from the board were 30 3/4 inches, 12 1/4 inches, and 16 1/4 inches. To obtain the remaining length of the board, all of the measurements cut are to be added and subtracted from 72 inches. This is shown below:
30 3/4 + 12 1/4 + 16 1/4 = 237/4 = 59.25 inches.
Remaining length of board = 72 - 59.25 = 12.75 inches.
Therefore, there will be 12.75 inches remaining of the board.
Answer:
87.0°
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of sines can be used to solve this. We have two sides of a triangle and the angle opposite one of them. We want to find the angle opposite the other known side.
In the attached, the triangle is ΔACS. We have side "a" = 9, and side "c" = 10. Angle A is given as 64°. The law of sines tells us ...
sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a
sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)
C = arcsin((c/a)sin(A)) = arcsin(10/9·sin(64°)) ≈ 87.03°
The ladder makes an angle of about 87° with the ground.
