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

blondinia [14]
Let's first write all the factors of 168 and 252.

168 - <span>1,2,3,4,6,7,8,12,14,21,24,28,42,56,84,168</span>
252 - 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,63,84,126,252

84 is the GCF because 84 is greatest common factor of 168 and 252.

So, 84 is the GCF  

Hope this helps..  :)
