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)

Anyone know the answer?? ​
Serggg [28]

Answer:

the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

in ax²+bx+c = 0:

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

subtract both sides by 6 to get to this form, as the right side will be left with 0

6x² + 8x - 6 = 0

here, the coefficient for x² (a) is 6, the coefficient for x (b) is 8, and the remaining number added on (c) is -6

plugging our numbers into the formula, we get

x = \frac{-8+-\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(6)(-6)} }{2(6)}\\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{64-(-144)} }{12} \\= \frac{-8+-\sqrt{208} }{12} \\ = \frac{-8+\sqrt{208} }{12} or \frac{-8-\sqrt{208} }{12}\\= 0.53518375848 or -1.86851709182\\= approximately -1.87, 0.54
