Answer:

57.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

A 25 feet ladder leans against a building.

The ladder's base is 13.5 feet from the building.

The ladder, the wall of the building and the ground form a right-angled triangle of:

Hypotenuse = 25 feet

Base = 13.5 feet

We are to find the angle of elevation which the ladder makes with the ground (or rather the angle created by hypotenuse and base)

Let's say the angle = X°

According to a trigonometric equation;

cos X° = adjacent side ÷ hypotenuse = \frac{13.5}{25} = 0.54

cos ^{-1} X = 57.5=3° (Answer rounded up to nearest one decimal place).

∴ The angle of elevation = 57.3°

Whats x? i don’t understand
rewona [7]

Answer:

The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol. See: Variable.

cluponka [151]

The unit rate in this problem is one payment per month. Since Martha has made 86 payments, that means it has been 86 months. Because of that, we can simply multiply 3335*86 to get 286810.

So she so far has paid $286,810 for her house payment
