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

c) 5.39

Step-by-step explanation:

The digit that is in the hundredths place is the 8. (The hundredths are two digits to the right of the point).

The thousandths in this case would be the 9, since the 9 is close to the next hundredth, the nearest hundredth would be 9 (adding 1 to the 8), therefore the number would be 5.39
