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 the height of the top of the ladder above the ground.
Replacing with the values given:
Sin 45 = x/ 13
Solving for x
sin45 (13) =x
x= 9.19 ft

The linear equation that represents the scenario is 5x + 2.5y = 20
<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>The given parameters are:
- Popcorn = $5 per bag
- Candy = $2.5 per bag i.e. half the price of pop corn
Let x represents popcorn and y represents candy.
So, we have:
5x + 2.5y = 20
The intercepts in this case are the maximum number of candy and popcorn Rhonda can buy
