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

Which equation can be used to solve for m, the greater integer? m(m – 3) = 108 m(m + 3) = 108 (m + 3)(m – 3) = 108 (m – 12)(m –
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

m(m-3)=108

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

Two positive integers are 3 units apart on a number line. Their product is 108.

Which equation can be used to solve for m, the greater integer?

m(m – 3) = 108

m(m + 3) = 108

(m + 3)(m – 3) = 108

(m – 12)(m – 9) = 108

Solution

On the number line,

Let

m= larger integer

The integers are 3 numbers apart on the number line, so

m-3=smaller integer

The product (×) of the larger and smaller integers=108

(m)*(m-3)=108

m(m-3)=108

Therefore, the equation that can be used to solve for m, the larger integer is:

 m(m – 3) = 108

If p∨q is true, then what must be true about the truth values of p and q?
kiruha [24]
Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of "If it is raining then the grass is wet" is "If the grass is not wet then it is not raining." Note: As in the example, the contrapositive<span> of any true proposition is also true.

Therefore, the answer would be:

</span><span>If I don't spend money, then I don't have it.</span>

Compare and contrast perpendicular bisected and altitude
elena55 [62]
A perpendicular bisector forms two right angles and splits the line in two equal parts.

The altitude does create two right angles, but doesn't have to create two equal parts.
