<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.

Calculate to the nearest 1/10th meter the length of the side of a 7th, 12th, and 30th hectare square plot.
Tems11 [23]

Answer and explanation:

To find : Calculate to the nearest 1/10th meter the length of the side of a 7th, 12th, and 30th hectare square plot.

Solution :

The area of the square is given by,

A=s^2 where s is the side length.

We know,  1 \text{ hectare}=10,000\ m^2

1) The area of square plot is 7 hectare.

Area in meter square is A=7\times 10000=70000\ m^2

Substitute the value in the formula,

70000=s^2

\sqrt{70000}=s

264.57=s

Side nearest to 1/10th meter is 264.8 meter.

2) The area of square plot is 12 hectare.

Area in meter square is A=12\times 10000=120000\ m^2

Substitute the value in the formula,

120000=s^2

\sqrt{120000}=s

346.41=s

Side nearest to 1/10th meter is 346.4 meter.

3) The area of square plot is 30 hectare.

Area in meter square is A=30\times 10000=300000\ m^2

Substitute the value in the formula,

300000=s^2

\sqrt{300000}=s

547.72=s

Side nearest to 1/10th meter is 547.7 meter.

The sum of three consecutive whole numbers is 183 find the numbers
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

let the no.s be : x, x+1, x+2

then,

=> x + x+1 + x+2 = 183

=> 3x + 3 = 183

=> 3x     = 183 - 3

=> x  =  180/3

=> x = 60

therefore,  the whole no.s are 60, 61, and 62
