Answer:

sin-¹(10/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building is 100 ft and the ladder is 110ft long .We can imagine this situation as a right angled ∆. For figure refer to the attachment .

  • We can use ratio sine here. Let the angle of elevation be theta.

<u>In </u><u>∆</u><u> </u><u>ABC </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

=> sinθ = p/h

=> sinθ = 100ft / 110 ft

=> sinθ = 10/11

=> θ = sin -¹ ( 10/11) .

<h3><u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>angle</u><u> of</u><u> elevation</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>sin </u><u>-</u><u>¹</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>1</u><u>)</u><u>. </u><u> </u></h3>

How do i solve this because I need some help. I'm studying for my test.

At Gino's you pay $16 plus $8 per pizza.
At Venetian's you pay $24 plus $6 per pizza.
Let the number of pizzas be x.

At Gino's you pay 16 + 8x
At Venetian's you pay 24 + 6x

Set the two costs equal and solve for x to find out the number of pizzas for which both costs are the same.

16 + 8x = 24 + 6x
16 + 2x = 24
2x = 8
x = 4
Each place gives you a free pizza.
4 pizzas plus the free pizza equals 5 pizzas.

If you need 5 pizzas (including the free one), both parlors cost the same.

If you need fewer than 5 pizzas, use Gino's.
If you need more than 5 pizzas, use Venetian's.
