Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
This problem requires the use of trigonometric functions, specifically the tangent trig function.
Plug in the values.
Multiply by x to both sides, then divide by tan(40) to both sides.
Now, plug this into a calculator and rounded to the nearest whole number (foot).
x = 9534.0287
x = 9534 ft.
The answer is 9534 ft., the last option.

We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.
11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares
121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides
B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75
B = 5 root3
Split the second term in 6x^2 + 17x + 5 into two terms
6x^2 + 15x + 2x + 5 = 0
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
3x(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) = 0
Factor out the common term 2x + 5
(2x + 5)(3x + 1) = 0
Solve for x
<u>x = -5/2, -1/3</u>
There are 120 different combinations.
There are 5 to use for the first bead; then after it is used, 4 for the second; 3 for the third; 2 for the fourth; and 1 for the fifth and last bead:
5*4*3*2*1 = 120.
