Answer:

78.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve for the above question, using the formula for the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos θ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = The distance between the house and the base of the ladder = 4 feet

Hypotenuse = Length of the Ladder = 20 feet

Hence,

cos θ = 4/20

θ = arc cos(4/20)

θ = 78.463040967°

Approximately = 78.5°

Therefore, the angle that the ladder makes with the ground is 78.5°

How do I solve this equation????
Alexus [3.1K]
So for this question (for finding x and y) you will want to use elimination. To do this you will need to bring the x and y to the same side (I put them on the left):
-3/2x+y=6
x+y=0
Now subtract the y on the bottom from the top to isolate x:
3/2x=6
Now the easiest way to bring over the 3/2 to isolate the x fully is to convert it to decimal (1.5) and divide it by 6 (because when multiplication on one side of problem the only way to bring it over is to divide):
x=6/1.5
which simplifies to: 
x=4
Hope this helps!

If the lines are parallel with angle a measuring 5x + 8 and angle b measuring 8x - 7, the measure of angle a would be ___ degree
Mandarinka [93]

The value of angle a will be 33°.

It should be noted that when we've parallel lines, then the angles will be equal. In this case, the value of angle a will be equal to that of angle b and this will be:

5x + 8 = 8x - 7.

Collect like terms .

8x - 5x = 8 + 7

3x = 15

Divide both side by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

Therefore, the value of angle a will be:

= 5x + 8

= 5(5) + 8

= 25° + 8°

= 33°

The measure of angle a is 33°.
