Answer: 1/7

Explanation:

1. Use the formula, y2-y1/x2-x1
Plug in the points, (12, -8) and (-9, -11) into the formula.
Point (12, -8): 12 is the X1 and -8 is the y1.
Point (-9, -11): -9 is the X2 and -11 is the y2
So, -11--8/-9-12

2. -11--8/-9-12= -3/-21= 1/7

I hope this helps!!

A 14-foot ladder is placed against a vertical wall of a building, with the bottom of the ladder standing on level ground 9 fee

timama [110]

Answer:

10.7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder, the ground and the wall form the shape of a right angled triangle as shown in the image below.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is 14 feet (length of ladder)

The base of the triangle is 9 feet long (the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall)

We need to find the height of the triangle. We can apply Pythagoras rule:

$hyp^2 = a^2 + b^2$

where hyp = hypotenuse

a = base of the triangle

b = height of the triangle

Therefore:

$14^2 = 9^2 + b^2\\\\196 = 81 + b^2\\\\b^2 = 196 - 81 = 115\\\\b = \sqrt{115} \\\\b = 10.7 feet$

The wall reaches 10.7 feet high.

For questions 3 – 5, an airplane is heading south at an airspeed of 540 km/hr, but there is a wind blowing from the northeast at

GuDViN [60]

First, let's calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the wind speed (W) and the airplane speed (A), knowing that south is a bearing of 270° and northeast is a bearing of 45°:

$\begin{gathered} W_x=W\cos45°\\ \\ W_x=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_x=35.35\\ \\ \\ \\ W_y=W\sin45°\\ \\ W_y=50\cdot0.707\\ \\ W_y=35.35 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} A_x=A\cos270°\\ \\ A_x=540\cdot0\\ \\ A_x=0\\ \\ \\ \\ A_y=A\sin270°\\ \\ A_y=540\cdot(-1)\\ \\ A_y=-540 \end{gathered}$

Now, let's add the components of the same direction:

$\begin{gathered} V_x=W_x+A_x=35.35+0=35.35\\ \\ V_y=W_y+A_y=35.35-540=-504.65 \end{gathered}$

To find the resultant bearing (theta), we can use the formula below:

$\begin{gathered} \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\ \\ \theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{-504.65}{35.35})\\ \\ \theta=-86° \end{gathered}$

The angle -86° is equivalent to -86 + 360 = 274°.

Therefore the correct option is b.
