AB = ==> distance between the bottom of the plank; and the wall ===> 3 ft.

C ====> 49 degrees

For letter a, to solve for AC:

AC ==> HYPOTENUSE. The angle C is the OPPOSITE side of AB.

use sine :

sin A ===> opposite/hypotenuse

Solve:

sin 49 ====> 3/AC

AC ====> 3 / sin 49

AC ====> 3.96 ft.

For letter b, to solve for BC:

We are now given with the base (3 ft.); and; the hypotenuse (3.96 ft.) so we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let:

a ===> AB

b ===> BC

c ===> AC

(AB)^2 + (BC)^2 ===> (AC)^2

3^2 + (BC)^2 ===> (3.96)^2

(BC)^2 ===> (3.96)^2 - 3^2

(BC)^2 ===> 6.6816

sqrt (BC)^2 ===> sqrt 6.6816

Answer: BC ===> 2.58 ft.

Hope that helps!!!! : )

Is there an ordered pair that is a solution to BOTH of
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The ordered pair is (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use substitution. With substitution, we substitute the y in each problem with the equations. In this case, x + 1 can substitute the y in y = -x + 5. Here is what the problem looks like now:

x + 1 = -x + 5

The reason we used substitution is because we assume that these linear equations are equal. We must prove it, though. We can use algebra.

Move the variables to one side and the numerical values to another:

x + x = 5 - 1.

Simplify.

2x = 4

Simplify.

x = 2.

Now, we got our x value, we can substitute it into our problem:

y = 2 + 1

y + -2 + 5

2 + 1 = - 2 + 5 = 3

Our x is 2, and our y is 3. The ordered pair that is a solution is (2,3).
