A 10-foot ladder touches the side of a building at a point 8 feet above the ground. At what height would a 22-foot ladder touch

the building if it makes the same angle with the ground as the shorter ladder? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

8.75 feet

<h2>Step by step:</h2>

Given that a 12 foot ladder leans against a building seven feet above the ground.

By using trigonometry ratio, the angle between the ladder and the ground will be

SinØ = opposite/ hypothenus

SinØ = 7 / 12

SinØ = 0.58333

Ø = Sin^-1(0.58333)

Ø = 35.69 degree

At what height would an 15 foot ladder touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground?

Using the same trigonometric ratios

SinØ = opposite/hypothenus

Sin 35.69 = opposite/ 15

Cross multiply

Opposite = 15 × sin 35.69

Opposite = 8.75 feet

Therefore, the ladder will touch the building if both ladders form the same angle with the ground at height 8.75 feet.

Choose the two expressions that are equivalent to 6.5 ÷ 1.3.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

A & C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the two expressions that are equivalent to 6.5 ÷ 1.3, you need to solve all of them until you get the two expressions that have a quotient of 5.

Let's begin solving!

65 ÷ 13  = 5

So now we know that A is one of our answers

65 ÷ 130 = 0.5

Not one of our answers because the quotient is not 5

650 ÷ 130 = 5

This is our other answer! We don't need to solve D because we only needed to find two expressions which are A and C.

Hope this helps you :)
