A fireman needs to get water to a second-floor fire. His ladder is 30 ft long and he leans it against the vertical wall so that

the top of the ladder is 27 ft above the ground.
(a) Use trigonometry to find the angle formed between the ground and the ladder. Round to the nearest whole number and show all your work.


(b) For safety reasons, the fireman wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no more than 70°

Will the ladder be safe the way it is positioned? PLEASE GIVE EXPLANATION!

Answer:

(a) 64°

(b) Yes, it is safe

Step-by-step explanation:

A fireman needs to get water to a second-floor fire. His ladder is 30 ft long and he leans it against the vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 27 ft above the ground.

(a) Use trigonometry to find the angle formed between the ground and the ladder. Round to the nearest whole number and show all your work.

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse sides

θ = Angle formed with the ground = ?

Opposite side = 27 ft

Hypotenuse side = 30 ft

Hence,

sin θ = 27 ft/30 ft

sin θ = 9/10 = 0.9

θ = arc sin (0.9)

θ = 64.158067237°

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 64°

(b) For safety reasons, the fireman wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no more than 70°.Will the ladder be safe the way it is positioned?

From the above calculation, the angle the ladder makes with the ground is 64° and now we want that angle to be 70°

Hence:

64° < 70°

Therefore, the ladder will be safe the way it is positioned.

What is <br><br> 3x+2y=-13<br> 3x+4y=1
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The values are

x = -25/9 = -2 7/9

y = 7/3 = 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = -13 --------eqn 1

3x + 4y = 1-------------eqn2

Using eqn 2 to get the value of y

3x + 4y = 1

4y = 1 - 3x

Dividing both sides by 4,to get y

4y/4 =( 1 -3x) / 4

y = (1 - 3x) / 4

Since we've gotten the value for y, substitute the value into eqn 1

3x + 2y = -13

3x + 2(3x - 1)/4 = -13

Opening the bracket

3x + (6x - 2)/4 = -13

LCM = 4

(12x + 6x - 2) / 4 = -13

18x - 2 / 4 = -13

Then we cross multiply

18x - 2 = -13 * 4

18x - 2 = - 52

18x = -52 + 2

18x = -50

Divide both sides by 18, to get the value of x

18x/18 = -50/18

x = -25/9

or x = -2 7/9

The value of x is now known, so let's go back to eqn 2

Substitute x = - 25/9

3x + 4y = 1

3(-25/9) + 4y = 1

Open the bracket

-75/9 + 4y = 1

Make y the subject of the formula

4y = 1 + 75/9

LCM = 9

4y = (9 + 75)/ 9

4y = 84/9

To get y, divide both sides by 4

4y/4 = 84/9 / 4/1

y =

Note : when division changes to multiplication, it always be in its reciprocal form

y = 84/9 / 1/4

y = 84 * 1 / 9 *4

y = 84/ 36

y = 7/3

Or

y = 2 1/3

Oatmeal is made by mixing 15 cups of hot water to 6 cups of oats.
skad [1K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 2/5 cups oats per cup water
  • 2.5 cups water per cup oats

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of the fraction is the unit you want 1 of.

  (6 cups oats)/(15 cups water) = (6/15) cups oats/(1 cup water)

  = (2/5 cups oats)/(1 cup water)

1 cup of water would need 2/5 cups of oats.

__

Obviously, the other ratio is the reciprocal of this.

  (1 cup water)/(2/5 cups oats) = (5/2 cups water)/(1 cup oats)

1 cup of oats would need 2.5 cups of water
