Answer:

4.3 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angle of elevation = 73°

Horizontal distance from foot of ladder to bottom of wall = x feets

Height of ladder = 14 feets

The horizontal distance, x :

Using trigonometry :

Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 14 / x

Tan 73 = 14 / x

3.2708526 * x = 14

x = 14 / 3.2708526

x = 4.2802295

x = 4.3 feets

Answer:

4.12=2.45c+1.65c

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apple and 1.65 pounds of pears.

Also, the cost of apples and pears is 'c' dollars per pound.

Thus, the cost of 2.45 pounds of apple is 2.45c dollars and the cost of 1.65 pounds of pear is 1.65c dollars.

Since, the total cost after using a coupon is $4.12.

So, we get the equation representing the situation is,

Total cost = Total cost of apples + Total cost of pears.

i.e. 4.12=2.45c+1.65c

i.e. 4.12=4.1c

i.e. c=\frac{4.12}{4.1}

i.e. c = 1 dollar

Hence, the required equation to find c is 4.12=2.45c+1.65c.

How to do transformations

If it is a Reflection you use-
X-axis: (x,-y)
y-axis: (-x, y)
y=x: (y, x)
y=-x: (-y, -x)
Rotations:
90 degree clockwise/ 270 degree counterclockwise is (y, -x)
180 degree is (-x, -y)
270 degree clockwise/ 90 degree counterclockwise is (-y, x)
Dilations are when it is multiplied by a number. So lets say your operation is dilated by 2. It will be (2x, 2y).
Last but not least is Translations. This is when it is added or subtracted to your operation. This means it goes up or down and left or right on your graph. Left and right are X, up and down are Y. Lets say we want to go up 2 and left 3. It will be (x-3, y+2).
