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

Can someone help me find the missing height?

<h2>Solution :</h2>

Area = 30 units²

Base = 5 units

Height = ? = Let it be -> x

Area (formula) = base×height = x×5 units= 30 units²

= x= 30/5 = 6 units

<h2>Thus , the height = 6 units</h2>

What the result of √[(-2a)^ 2]

Tanya [424]

If you take the square root of a number squared number then they cancel each other out and the number stays the same i.e. √[(4)^2] would equal 4.

In this problem the square root and numbered squared cancel out to leave the problem as -2a.

The solution of this problem is -2a

What is the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of the linear function shown on the grid ?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Slope: -1/4; Y-Intercept: 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope. The best way to do this is to transform the two given points to y=mx+b form. When given two points, the best way to find the slope will be to do y2-y1/x2-x1. In this equation it would be -2-0/2+6, which is -2/8, simplified is -0.25 or -1/4. So we have the slope, which can determine the length of the line.

Step 2: Find the Y-Intercept. Finding the Y-intercept is so much simpler when given a graph, since all you have to do is find where the line goes through the y-axis, which in this case is (0,1.5), meaning that the y-intercept is 1.5 <em>(note: the y-intercept can also be found when x=0, for example (0,9).</em>

Hope this helped, good luck!
