Don't get what................................................
Tanα=h/x
x=h/tanα
x=70/tan38 ft
x≈89.6 ft (to nearest tenth of a foot)
Note: the question seems strange, (because this would make the ladder almost 114 feet long!) or are we to assume as I did that the ladder is leaning against a point 70 feet high, or should if be a 70 foot ladder leaning against a wall of unknown height?
If it is just a 70 ft ladder at a 38° inclination the:
cosα=x/L
x=Lcosα
x=70cos38° ft
x≈55.2 ft
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The triangles are similar by the AA postulate so use proportions to find x.
x/207 = 170/90
solve for x
x = 207(170/90)
x = 207(1.89)
x = 391 ft
2) These triangles are similar so use proportions to solve it
x/138 = (x + 60)/207
207x = 138(x + 60)
207x = 138x + 8280
207x - 138x = 8280
69x = 8280
x = 8280/69
x = 120
Answer:
0.80 for 0.5 mile
0.80/0.5 for 1 mile
18.5 × 0.80/0.5 for 18.5 mile
Use calculator and you answer will be 29.6
Here it is!
There are several different angles associated with circles. Perhaps the one that most immediately comes to mind is the central angle. It is the central angle's ability to sweep through an arc of 360 degrees that determines the number of degrees usually thought of as being contained by a circle.
