Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We use trig to answer these questions:

sin x = opposite side of a triangle / hypotenuse

cos x = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Construct a right triangle with hypotenuse 4 m and lower angle 68 degrees.

The height of the top of the ladder is then defined by:

sin 68 degrees = height / 4 m, which yields (4 m)(sin 68) = height =

3.71 m

and the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall as follows:

cos 68 degrees = horizontal distance / hypotenuse =

1.50 m

A diver descends to a location of -50 1 over 4 meters relative to the surface of the water. He then descends another 10 1 over 2

Yanka [14]

Answer:

$-60\frac{3}{4}$ meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find diver's final location relative to the surface of water we will subtract $10\frac{1}{2}$ from $-50\frac{1}{4}$ because diver dives away another $10\frac{1}{2}$ from his previous location of $-50\frac{1}{4}$ .

$-50\frac{1}{4} -10\frac{1}{2}$

Now we will convert our mixed fraction into improper fraction and then we will find a common denominator.

$\frac{-201}{4} -\frac{21}{2} =\frac{-201-42}{4}$

$=\frac{-243}{4}$

Now let us convert our answer in mixed fraction.

$=\frac{-243}{4}=[tex]-60\frac{3}{4}$ [/tex]

Therefore, diver's final location relative to the surface of the water is $-60\frac{3}{4}$ meters.

If cba represents three numbers multiplied together, what property allows you to rearrange the factors to read abc?

QveST [7]

Commutative property of multiplication states that u can " commute " , move around the numbers and get the same result.
Example : 1 * 2 * 3 = 3 * 2 * 1...they still equal no matter what order u put them in.

so cba = abc by commutative property of multiplication
