A 24-foot ladder leans against a building. The foot

Mathematics
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

73°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we use trigonometry to find the angle. The building and the ground form a perpendicular angle, with the ladder acting as the hypotenuse, we get a right angle. We know the length of adjacent leg from the angle, and the length of the hypotenuse. In this case, we use cosine since cos = adjacent length/hypotenuse length. So cos x= 7/24. To isolate x, we use the inverse function of cos, cos^-1. Then x= cos^-1 (7/24) or 73°.

*A triangle has sides 42, 4x, and 2x−6. What is the possible range of x?
scoray [572]

Answer:

<h2>The Possible range for x is : ]8 , 18[</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To can draw this triangle if:

4x - (2x - 6) < 42 < 4x + (2x - 6)

solve inequality 1 :

4x - (2x - 6) < 42 ⇔ 2x + 6 < 42 ⇔ 2x < 36 ⇔ x < 18 (1)

Solve inequality 2 :

42 < 4x + (2x - 6) ⇔ 42 < 6x - 6 ⇔ 48 < 6x ⇔ 8 < x (2)

from (1) and (2) we deduce that : 8 < x < 18
