Answer:

17.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A ladder that is 20 feet long leans against the wall of a building such that its base makes a 62 degree angle with the ground. Determine the height, h, that the ladder reaches up the wall. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

We solve using the Trigonometric function of sin

sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Opposite = Height = ?

Hypotenuse = Length of the ladder = 20 ft

Hence:

sin 62 = h/20 ft

Cross Multiply

h = sin 62 × 20 ft

h = 17.658951857 ft

Approximately = 17.7 ft

Answer:

1 and - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope ( gradient ) )

y = x ← is in this form

with gradient m = 1

Parallel lines have equal gradients

Then the gradients of lines parallel to the given line is 1

Given a line with gradient m then the gradient of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{1} = - 1

Then the gradients of lines perpendicular to this line is - 1

What should be done to x^2 + 15x in order to create a perfect square?
lana [24]

\bf \qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\bf x^2+15x+\boxed{?}^2\implies \stackrel{\textit{we know the middle term is}}{2\sqrt{x^2}\cdot \sqrt{\boxed{?}^2}\implies 2x\boxed{?}}\qquad then\qquad 2x\boxed{?}=15x \\\\\\ \boxed{?}=\cfrac{15x}{2x}\implies \boxed{?}=\cfrac{15}{2}\qquad \impliedby \textit{we should add that much \underline{squared}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ x^2+15x+\left( \cfrac{15}{2} \right)^2\implies \left(x+ \cfrac{15}{2} \right)^2

Captain Liz is going to load her cruise ship with bags of sugar. She has room for 19 bags of sugar. She has allotted for 121 pou
Bad White [126]
: 1) If you were going to solve these, you would set them up like this. s+p=19 7s+10p=121 among the choices, b is the only one that is equivalent to one of these equations 2) The problem looks a little confusing. If the price is per box then they easily make $275. 8b+9h=53 20*8b+30*9h=275 If it's per batch, the answer is B. 3. x^2+y^2=16 y=x+4 solve the first equation for y y=√16-x^2 x+4=√16-x^2 (x+4)^2=16-x^2 x^2+8x+16=16-x^2 2x^2+8x=0 2x(x+4)=0 x=0 or x=-4 (be carefull i copyed and pasted the answer)
