Answer:
25.61 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.
Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.
One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have
sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet
multiply both sides by 26 feet
sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite
= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation for a circle is given by:
Where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.
We know that the center is (-4, 8). So, substitute -4 for h and 8 for k:
Simplify:
Now, we will need to find r.
We know that it passes through the point (-2, -1). So, we can substitute -2 for x and -1 for y and solve for r. So:
Evaluate:
Square:
Add:
So, r squared is 85.
We don’t actually have to solve for r itself, since we will have to square it anyways.
So, we have:
Substituting 85 for r squared, we get:
And we have our equation.
