For this case, we can model the problem as a rectangle triangle.
We know the height of the triangle.
We know the angle between the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse.
We want to find the base of the triangle.
For this, we use the following trigonometric relationship:
tan (70) = 39 / x
Clearing x we have:
x = 39 / tan (70)
x = 14.2 feet
Answer:
The distance between the base of the building and the base of the ladder is:
x = 14.2 feet
I believe it's one of the four in photo.
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees. This means that 65 + x = 90, so x = 90 - 65 = 25.
<span>Two cylinders are shown. One is 216in^3 and one is 343in^3. Divide the smaller number (216) by the larger number (343). The answer is .629. That means that the smaller figure is approximately 63% the size of the larger figure.</span>
