Answer:
is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of the line: y = 6/5x + 1
= 5y = 6x + 5
= 6x - 5y + 5
Equation of the perpendicular line: bx - ay + k = 0
= -5x -6y + k = 0
Equation passes through (6,-6),
-5(6) -6(-6) + k = 0
-30 + 36 + k = 0
6 + k = 0
k = -6
Substituting,
-5x -6y + k = 0
-5x -6y -6 = 0
-6y = 5x + 6
(Slope-Intercept form)
The tip would be $17.26
All you have to do is multiply 86.29 x .2 (20%)
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
Answer:
51m
Step-by-step explanation:
-Paul is 6ft, and has a 10ft shadow. The pole has a 85ft shadow:
-Using ratios:

Let h be the height of the flagpole:

Hence, the height of the pole is 51m
