Mathematics
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find distance between points 8 and -5

The formula used to find the distance is: Distance=|b-a|

Absolute value is used to get only positive values. i.e |-1|=1 if required.

We are given: b=8 and a=-5

Putting values and finding distance

Distance=|b-a|\\Distance=|8-(-5)|\\Distance=|8+5|\\Dstance=|13|\\Distance=13

So, the distance between points 8 and -5 is 13

The safety instructions for a 20 foot ladder say the ladder should not be inclined more than 70 degrees with the ground. suppose
Romashka [77]

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
