Answer:

I'll set up the problem and you can do the calculation

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to complete the squares to get the equation in the general form:

{(x - h)}^{2}  +  {(y - k) }^{2}  =  {r}^{2}

where h = the x coordinate of the center

k = the y coordinate of the center

r = the radius

so looking at

{x}^{2}  - 2x

we can see that if use -1 as the constant we have

{(x - 1)}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  - 2x   + 1

doing the same for y

{y}^{2}  - 4y

we can use -2 as the constant (basically you that the s

quare of the y coefficient )

{(y - 2)}^{2}  =  {y}^{2}  - 4y   + 4

so now we have to add or subtract the constant on the RHS to see what the square of the radius is according to the general form of the equation at the top

20 +1+4=25

Take the square root and you have the radius

Cosα=x/L

L=x/cosα, we are told that the ladder base is 48 ft from the base of the wall and α=39° so:

L=48/cos39 ft

L≈61.76 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
