Answer:

25.61 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can draw a picture (see attached picture). With the wall representing the rightmost line, and the ground representing the bottom line, the ladder (the hypotenuse) forms a 80 degree angle with the ground and the wall and ground form a 90 degree angle.

Without solving for other angles, we know one angle and the hypotenuse, and want to find the opposite side of the angle.

One formula that encompasses this is sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse, with x being 80 degrees and the hypotenuse being 26 feet. We thus have

sin(80°) = opposite / 26 feet

multiply both sides by 26 feet

sin(80°) * 26 feet = opposite

= 25.61 feet as the height of the wall the ladder reaches

Answer:

shorter base = 6 yd

longer base = 8 yd

area of playground = 42 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells you that the shorter side is equal to the width, which is 6 yds. The bases of the triangles on either side are 1 yd. Since there are two, add 1 twice to 6 (6+1+1). This gives you 8 yd for the longer base. You're right about the area, just use the trapezoid area formula: 1/2h(a+b).
