Answer:
31.53
Step-by-step explanation:
6% of 525.50 is 31.53
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
The triangles that would be created if the rectangle has a length and width that are different is a right scalene triangle.
It will have one right angle and all three sides of the triangle will be different lengths because the hypotenuse (the diagonal will be longer than the other two sides.
