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.

Find the 8th term of the arithmetic sequence -2x+5−2x+5, -7x+8−7x+8, -12x+11, ...
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

  -37x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficients have the sequence ...

  -2, -7, -12, ...

which has first term -2 and common difference of (-7 -(-2)) = -5. Then the 8th x-coefficient is ...

  -2 + (-5)(8 -1) = -37

__

The constants have the sequence ...

  5, 8, 11, ...

which has first term 5 and common difference 8 -5 = 3. Then the 8th constant term is ...

  5 +(3)(8 -1) = 26

The 8th term of the sequence is -37x +26.

_____

The general term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a1 and common difference d is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

In the above, we have used n=8 to find the 8th term.
