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)

Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality.
Agata [3.3K]
The solution is x>18.

The problem tells us that 3 less than a number: x-3
is more than 15. >15
So the inequality is x-3>15. When we isolate x to simply the inequality, we add 3 to both sides, to get x>18.

Find the dimensions of the open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 11 in. by 7 in. by
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The dimension of the open rectangular box is 8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392.

The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The open rectangular box of maximum volume that can be made from a sheet of cardboard 11 in. by 7 in. by cutting congruent squares from the corners and folding up the sides.

To find : The dimensions and the volume of the open rectangular box ?

Solution :

Let the height be 'x'.

The length of the box is '11-2x'.

The breadth of the box is '7-2x'.

The volume of the box is V=l\times b\times h

V=(11-2x)\times (7-2x)\times x

V=4x^3-36x^2+77x

Derivate w.r.t x,

V'(x)=4(3x^2)-2(36x)+77

V'(x)=12x^2-72x+77

The critical point when V'(x)=0

12x^2-72x+77=0

Solve by quadratic formula,

x=\frac{18+\sqrt{93}}{6},\frac{18-\sqrt{93}}{6}

x=4.607,1.392

Derivate again w.r.t x,

V''(x)=24x-72

Now, V''(4.607)=24(4.607)-72=38.568>0 (+ve)

V''(1.392)=24(1.392)-72=-38.592 (-ve)

So, there is maximum at x=1.392.

The length of the box is l=11-2x

l=11-2(1.392)=8.216

The breadth of the box is b=7-2x

b=7-2(1.392)=4.216

The height of the box is h=1.392.

The dimension of the open rectangular box is 8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392.

The volume of the box is V=l\times b\times h

V=8.216\times 4.216\times 1.392

V=48.217\ in.^3

The volume of the box is 8.217 cubic inches.

Which lines are perpendicular to the line y - 1 = 1/3 (x+2)? Check all that apply.
ioda

Answer: Options 1, 3, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so since the slope of the given line is 1/3, we need to find lines with a slope of -3.

  • Option 1 has a slope of -3.
  • Option 2 has a slope of 3.
  • Option 3 has a slope of -3.
  • Option 4 has a slope of 1/3.
  • If we subtract 3x from both sides, we get y=-3x+7, so option 5 has a slope of -3.
