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
Make them into improper fractions
(5*5)+3
(2*3)+2
Final fractions
28/5+8/3
Find a common denominator
Multiply 28/5 by 3
84/15
Multiply 8/3 by 5
40/15
Add - 84+40=124

Answer:
1) 128°
2) 126°
3) 108°
<h2>
Question one:</h2>
The square in the corner means 90°. If you add the interior angles of any triangle together, you get 180. in this case, x is in exterior angle, so you subtract it from 180 to get the interior angle.
38 + 90 + (180-x) = 180
38 + 90 + 180 - x = 180
38 + 90 + 180 - 180 - x = 0
38 + 90 + 180 - 180 = x
128 = x
<h2>
Question two:</h2><h2>
</h2>
again, adding all the interior angles makes 180°. use this to make the equation.
3x + (5x-6) + 90 = 180
3x + 5x - 6 = 90
8x = 96
x = 12.
x isn't the answer the question wants, however. if you look at the drawing, the angle that's supplementary to 5x-6 is the exterior angle. so,
180 - (5x-6) = the answer
180 - 5x + 6 = the answer
substitute x for 12
180 - 60 + 6 = the answer
126 = x
<h2>Question three</h2>
again, adding all the interior angles together makes 180°.
(a + 10) + 44 + (180-2a) = 180
a + 10 + 44 + 180 - 2a = 180
-a + 234 = 180
234 - 180 = a
54 = a
however, the question is looking for the exterior angle, not a. in this case, the exterior angle is 2a, so just multiply 54 by 2.
x = 108
