Answer:

Value of θ [Angle of elevation] = 72.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of foot ladder = 20 feet

Distance of foot from house (Base) = 6 feet

Find:

Angle of elevation

Computation:

Using trigonometry functions

Cos θ = Base / Hypotenuse

Cos θ = Distance of foot from house (Base) / Length of foot ladder

Cos θ = 6 / 20

Cos θ = 0.3

Cos θ = Cos 72.54

Value of θ [Angle of elevation] = 72.54°

I need to find the value of k
VladimirAG [237]
Hey there! :D

-2(k-2)≥-20

Distribute the -2. Multiply -2 by k and -2. 

-2k+4≥-20

Subtract 4 on both sides. 

-2k≥-24

Divide by -2 and flip the sign, since you are dividing by a negative. 

k≤12

I hope this helps!
