Answer:
49.1 cm² (round to nearest 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
- use trigonometry to find the <em>h</em><em>e</em><em>i</em><em>g</em><em>h</em><em>t</em><em>(</em><em>h</em><em>)</em><em> </em>of the triangle
- substitute height and base(b) 12cm into the formula
<em>A</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>½</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em> </em><em>×</em><em> </em><em>h</em><em> </em><em>.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet
The height of the wall, h = 15 ft
We know that,
h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse
So,
Now using Pythagoras theoerm,
Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.
We know that
tan ∅=opposite side angle ∅/adjacent side angle ∅
adjacent side angle ∅=opposite side angle/tan ∅
in this problem
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
angle ∅=80°
opposite side angle ∅=12 ft (AB)
adjacent side angle ∅=? (AC)
adjacent side angle ∅=12/tan 80°------> 2.12 ft
the answer is
2.12 ft
tan ∅=opposite side angle ∅/adjacent side angle ∅
adjacent side angle ∅=opposite side angle/tan ∅
in this problem
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
angle ∅=80°
opposite side angle ∅=12 ft (AB)
adjacent side angle ∅=? (AC)
adjacent side angle ∅=12/tan 80°------> 2.12 ft
the answer is
2.12 ft
