shown. A 12 foot ladder is leaning against a house to form angle x. The distance between the house and the bottom of the ladder

is 4 feet. The angle between the house and the ground is 90 degrees. What is the value of x, rounded to the nearest degree? x ≈ ° According to the manufacturer, if the angle the ladder forms with the ground, x, is between 70° and 75°, then it meets safety standards. Is this ladder being used safely?

Answer:

Part A

71°

Part B

The ladder is been used safely

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

We solve the above question using Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos x = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = The distance between the house and the bottom of the ladder = 4 feet

Hypotenuse = Length of the ladder = 12 feet

x = Angle

Hence:

cos x = 4/12

cos x = 1/3

x = arc cos (1/3)

x = 70.528779366°

Approximately to the nearest degree

= 71°

Part B

According to the manufacturer, if the angle the ladder forms with the ground, x, is between 70° and 75°, then it meets safety standards. Is this ladder being used safely?

Angle x = 71°

Therefore, the ladder is been used safely

What is a solutions of x^2-2x+10=0?​
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x = 1± 3i

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2x+10=0

We can complete the square to solve by subtracting 10 from each side

x^2-2x+10-10=-10

x^2 -2x = -10

We need to add (2/2) ^2  to each side or 1

x^2 -2x+1 = -10 +1

x^2 -2x+1 = -9

The left side factors into (x- (2/2) ) ^2

(x-1) ^2 = -9

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-1) ^2 =± sqrt(-9)

x-1 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(3)

Remember the sqrt(-1) = i

x-1 = ± 3i

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 1± 3i

x = 1± 3i

The diameter of the moon is about 3500 km. Approximate the surface area of the moon using the formula for the surface area of a
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

3.8465 *10^7 square kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a sphere can be found using the formula SA=4\pi r^2. Since the diameter is 3500 km then its radius is half of this. 3500 divided in two is 1,750 units. Substitute r=1,750.

SA=4\pi r^2\\SA = 4 \pi (1750)^2\\SA = 4 \pi *3,062,500\\SA =38,465,000

The surface area of the moon is about 38,465,000 square kilometers. Write this is scientific notation using base. 3.8465 *10^7
