Answer:

4.8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the cosine ratio, since we are given the length of the hypotenuse (the ladder) and are asked to find the horizontal distance between it and the ground.

Let x represent the horizontal distance (the adjacent leg)

cosine θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

cosine 76° = x / 20

(20)(cosine 76°) = x

4.8 = x

So, the horizontal distance is approximately 4.8 feet

Can you please explain how you got the answer? Also plz tell me what the closed and open circle mean again..
ale4655 [162]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Open circle means that x does not equal that number. For example, the open circle on C is on 8, so that shows x is not equal to 8.
  • Closed circle means that x does equal that number. For example on A, there is a closed circle on 8, so x could equal 8.

First, we need to solve the equation.

  1. Subtract 200 frim 1200 -> 125x ≥ 1000.
  2. Divide 125 from 1000 to isolate the x -> x ≥ 8

So, that means x is bigger than or equal to 8.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it can be put into a fraction, negative or positive it is clearly rational. Irrational numbers are numbers we can never know the true value because they repeat forever (pi for example)

Rosa Roberto Andera and Inno find a estimate for ✓10. Who has proposed the best soulution?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

D. Inno

Step-by-step explanation:

You can estimate cube roots by trying to get the two closest cube roots. Inno used √9 and √16. These two roots are the closest to √10. The cube root of √9 and √16 are 3 and 4 respectively, which means the √10 is between these two numbers, because √10 is between √9 and √16. √9 is the closest to √10, so the cube root of 10 is a number close to 3.

My english can be confusing but I tried :) Hope you understand it.
