The rectangle with maximum area will actually be a square.
Each side will be of length 7/4 = 1 3/4.
I am going to assume ‘centimetre’ was a typo.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
C^2 - A^2 = B^2
32 = B^2
Square root both sides
B = 5.7m high
The ladder will reach 5.7 meters high
Answer:
B) 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Add them up then divide by the amount of numbers there are.
I can use the angle and the length of JH to find the length of IJ.
To do this, I look at the relationship IJ and JH have to the 52 degree angle. JH is opposite to angle I, and IJ is adjacent to angle I. Because the two side lengths are opposite and adjacent, I use the tangent function to solve this.
Tangent of an angle = the length of the opposite side / the length of the adjacent side. This is just another way to say tan(x)=opposite/adjacent
Now I can fill in what I know...
tan(52)=4.2/x
Now, I want to isolate x.
tan(52) = 4.2/x
x(tan(52))=4.2
x=4.2/tan(52)
Now I put 4.2/tan(52) into a calculator and get x = 3.3 ft
Hope this helps!
