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:

The answer is 3x(x - 3)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x³ - 3x² - 18x

Factor out 3x from the expression

We have

3x ( x² - x - 6)

Solve the terms in the bracket

We have

3x ( x² + 2x - 3x - 6)

Factor out x the expression in the bracket

We have

3x ( x ( x + 2) - 3( x + 2) )

Factor out x + 2 from the expression in the bracket

We have the final answer as

Addison wants to cut 21 centimeters of lace, but her ruler is only calibrated in millimeters. How many millimeters of lace shoul

GuDViN [60]

We are given that Addison wants to cut 21 centimeters of lace. The question asks us to convert 24 centimeters into millimeters. However, to do that, we need to know how many millimeters are in a centimeter. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. Since centimeters are larger, we will need to multiply. Therefore, 21 × 10 is 210 millimeters, and that is how many millimeters Addison wanted to cut. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!

Can someone help me with this

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Y is 90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equalterial triangle which means all of the angles are the same. The angle for the upper part of the triangle is 60 as well. We can do 2x=60 because they add up to the angle which is 60. This gives us x=30. If x=30 and the other angle is 60, then the other angle has to be 90 because all triangle has an angle sum of 180. So 30 +60 + 90= 180. Hope this helps!
