Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
move the terms with
to the left side of the equation:
add 3x to both sides

add 3x and 3x

move all term not containing
to the right side:
add 1 to both sides of the equation


divide each term by 6


simplify the fraction

Answer: The ladder is 5.3 m long
Step by step solution
1. Draw out the scenario, ie a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the ladder, the wall is 4.5m and the angle the ladder and the ground makes 58 degree.
2. Soh, Cah, Toa
The wall is opposite, the ground is adjacent, and the ladder is hypotenuse
Sine (58) = 4.5/h
3. Solve for hypotenuse
h * sine (58) = 4.5
h = 4.5/sine (58)
h = ~ 5.3 m
Since FA || BE, then angle 1 must equal angle 2 since they are corresponding angles along parallel lines where the transverse line cuts.
Thus, if angle 1 is 59, then angle 2 must also be 59 (ie D)
