Answer:
23.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Sketch a right triangle representing this situation. The length of the hypotenuse is 26 ft and the angle of elevation from ground to top of ladder is 65°. The "opposite side" is the reach of the ladder, which we'll call x.
Then:
opp
- sin 65° = ----------
- 26 ft
or (26 ft)(sin 65°) = opp side = height off the ground of top of ladder.
Evaluating this, we get:
(26 ft)(0.906) = 23.56 ft, or, rounded off, 23.6 ft
The ladder reaches 23.6 ft up the side of the building.

Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
