Answer:

<h3>11.8 feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the ladder = 12foot

angle of elevation = 80 degrees

Required

Height of the wall (opposite side)

The set up will form a right angled triangle where

length of the ladder is the hypotenuse

height of the wall is opposite;

Using SOH, CAH, TOA trig identity

According to SOH

sin 80 = opp/hyp

sin80 = opp/12

opp = 12sin80

opp = 11.82 feet

Hence the height of the wall is 11.8feet (to the nearest tenth)

PLEASE HELP ASAP THE DETAILS ARE BELOW.What is the value of x?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

x = 30°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashes on the three lines indicate that the three lines are of equal lengths. The smaller triangle made out of the three lines (the one with two vertices on the circumference of the circle and one at the center of the circle) is an isosceles triangle. All three of the triangle's interior angles are 60° since it is isosceles.

The line (the one with arrows on its ends) touches the circle at only one point. That line is a tangent to the circle. That line is perpendicular to the segment that connects the center of the circle to the point of tangency. The angle between the two will be 90°.

The largest triangle includes three angles:

  • The angle with the center of the circle as its vertice: 60°;
  • The right angle due to the tangent to the circle: 90°;
  • The angle x°.

What is the value of x?

The three interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°. As a result,

60° + 90° + x° = 180°

x = 180 - 90 - 60 = 30.

Cindy and Jose were in charge of selling tickets to the class play. Cindy sold 40 tickets and Jose sold 28 tickets. What is the
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

10:17

Step-by-step explanation:

If I am making a ratio of the tickets Cindy sold to the number of tickets sold in all it would be 40:68 but I would have to simplify and 40 divided by 2 = 20 and 68 divided by 2 = 34 then I would divide them both by two again to get our answer of    10:17!   Hope this helps!  Have a great day!
