Answer: 150 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her initial weight be represented by x.

Since Shep had lost 16% of his weight, which was 24 pounds. Shep weight before he was put on a diet would be:

16% × x = 24

0.16 × x = 24

0.16x = 24

x = 24/0.16

x = 150 pounds

If a ladder is to be placed 3 feet from the side of a house. If top of the ladder rests exactly on the edge of the house when it
likoan [24]

Answer:

7 feet long

Step-by-step explanation:

This set up will give a right angle triangle where;

Length of the ladder is the hypotenuse = x

The distance of the ladder to the house is the adjacent = 3 feet

Angle of elevation theta = 72 degrees

Using the CAH in trigonometry identity;

cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 72 = 3/hyp

hyp = 3/cos72

hyp = 3/0.4258

hyp = 7.05 feet

Hence the ladder is approximately 7 feet long
