Answer:

14.45 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up is a right angled triangle;

The length of the ladder = hypotenuse = 15foot

The base of the ladder is the adjacent = 4feet

The height of th house is the opposite = x

Using the pythagoras theorem;

hyp² = opp² + adj²

15² = opp²+4²

opp² = 15²- 4²

opp² = 225 - 16

opp² = 209

opp = 14.45feet

Hence the ladder reaches 14.45 feet up the house

How would you solve cos(5x)=sin(10x) ?
Tomtit [17]
We will use double angle identities:
cos (5x ) = sin (10x )   
cos (5x ) = 2 cos (5x ) sin ( 5x )
cos ( 5 x) - 2 cos ( 5 x ) sin ( 5x ) = 0
cos ( 5 x ) · [ 1 - 2 sin (5 x) ] = 0
cos ( 5 x ) = 0                    or :       1 - 2 sin (5 x) = 0
5 x = π/2 +kπ,  k∈Z                        sin (5 x) = 1/2
x1 = π/10 + kπ/5                           5 x = π/6+2kπ    , k∈ Z
                                                       5 x = 5π/6 +2kπ , k∈ Z
                                                       x 2 = π/30 +2kπ/5
                                                       x 3 = π/9  + 2kπ/5

Dvinal [7]

Hello ^w^

I believe the answer you are looking for is A

I found this answer by adding up the lengths of all the sides.

S -> T = 8

S -> R = 7

Q -> R = 6

P -> Q = 6

P -> T = 10

10 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 ->  37

A -> 37

If I am incorrect, please inform me.

Have a good day!
