Answer:

The ladder reaches (4)(√3) ft up the wall (6.93 ft)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a triangle with a 60 degree angle in the lower left corner.  The lower right corner is a right triangle, and 8 ft is the length of the hypotenuse.  The other angle is 30 degrees.

We know the angle 60 degrees, plus the length of the hypotenuse, but need the length of the vertical side opposite the 60 degree angle.  Use the sine function here because it involves these knowns:

                               opposite side

sin 60 degrees = ------------------------ = x/(8 ft) = (√3)/2

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2x = (8 ft)(√3), or through reduction, x = (4)(√3)

The ladder reaches (4)(√3) ft up the wall (6.93 ft)

What percentage of the students still receive an allowance
Mariana [72]

Answer:

I most likely think it is approximately 19%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean still receive an allowance even though they dont do chores:

Ok In all the total number of students is 21. Out of those 21, 4 still receive an allowance even though they dont do chores. This is 4/21. Now all we have to do is convert 4/21 into a percentage. To do this we have to divide 100 by 21, then times 4 by that number:

100 / 21 = >> approximately 4.76

Now 4 times 4.76 :

4 * 4.76 = >>> approximately 19.04 % . We round it to 19%.


So the answer is 19%.
