A right triangle is formed with the ladder as the hypotenuse. Since the angle made by the ladder with with ground is given, we can use trigonometric functions to solve for the height of the house.
If we let x be the height of the house and using sine function:
sin 24 = x/30
x = 30 sin 24
x = 12.20 ft
Therefore, the house is 12.20 ft tall
The GCF of those numbers is 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of x is simply a number. The x gives it it's meaning. So if the coefficient of x changed from 2 to 6 that would mean there would 6 x's being added to five, not 2.
For example if x=2.
instead of 5 + 2*2
(which equals 9)
it would be 5 + 6*2
(which equals 17).
The difference between the answers is 4x, as there are an additional 4x's.
Hope this helps :)

Pythagorean theorem
a-squared + b-squared = c-squared
400-squared + 350-squared = c-squared
160,000 + 122,500 = c- squared
282,500 = c-squared
Now take the square root of each side of the equation
531.5 = c
The length of the rope is 531.5 feet
