Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)
So, we want to find θ.
Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.
We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.
Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:

The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:

Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:

Use a calculator. Hence:

The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.
Answer:
D. 75m = 50(12)+125(m-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
m = months.
Equation for which Plans A and B cost the same.
In Plan A:
No initial fees.
$75 per month
1 month = $ 75
then;
for m month =$75 m
Total cost for plan A = 75m
In Plan B:
$50 per month for first 12 month.
1 month = $50
12 months = 50(12)
Similarly,
$125 per month for each additional month after that.
additional month= (m-12)
Plan B additional month
= 125(m-12)
Total cost for plan B = 50(12)+ 125(m-12)
Since, Plans A and B cost the same.
75m = 50(12)+125(m-12)
Answer:

Choice D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence representing the number of raccoons;
8, 24, 72
is simply but a geometric sequence with first term 8 and common ratio 3.
The formula for the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term x and common ration r is;

In the given case, x = 8 and r = 3
We substitute these values in the above formula;

Kind of difficult to see that
