Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We need to determine the distance that Mr. Mole covers in a single minute.

To do that we divide the difference in values of altitude by the difference in the time periods.

For the first case, Mr. Mole had traveled -18 meters in 5 minutes.

We also have, he traveled -25.2 meters in 8 minutes.

Step 2:

The distance he covered in 1 minute = \frac{-25.2-(-18)}{8-5} = \frac{-25.2+18}{3},

\frac{-25.2+18}{3} = \frac{-7.2}{3} = -2.4.

So with every minute, Mr. Mole digs down an additional 2.4 meters below the surface.

To determine where Mr. Mole's burrow is we subtract the distance traveled in 5 minutes from -18.

The altitude of Mr. Mole's burrow = -18 - 5(-2.4) = -18+12 = -6.

So Mr. Mole's burrow was at an altitude of 6 meters below the ground i.e. -6 meters.

A 20 ft. ladder is used against a 15 ft. wall. What is the measure of the angle made by the ladder and the ground (nearest whole
Brrunno [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a ladder, H = 20 feet

The height of the wall, h = 15 ft

We know that,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{h}{H}

h is perpendicular and H is hypotenuse

So,

\sin\theta=\dfrac{15}{20}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{15}{20})\\\\\theta=48.59^{\circ}

Now using Pythagoras theoerm,

b=\sqrt{H^2-h^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{20^2-15^2}\\\\b=13.2\ ft

Hence, the angle made by the ladder and the ground is 48.59° and the ladder is 13.2 feet from the wall on the ground.

the formula used to find the area of a triangle is A= 1/2bh, where is A of the triangle, b is the length of the base of the tria
aliya0001 [1]
If you are doing a literal equation all you have to do is isolate the h.
First get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 2.
2a=bh
Then divide both sides by b.
2a/b=h
Hope this helps!
