1. Joshua has a ladder that is 14 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is

13.8 ft above the ground. For safety reasons, he wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 78°. Will the ladder be safe at this height? Show your work and draw a diagram to support your answer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

θ is the angle the ladder makes with the ground.

θ = arcsin(13.8/14) ≈ 80.3° > 78°

The ladder is not safe at that height and angle.

Nadia is investigating rotations about the center of regular polygons that carry the regular polygon onto itself. She claims tha
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

\theta_1 \ n\ \theta_2 = 120, 240

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the angles of rotation are not stated.

However, I will list the angles less than 360 degrees that will carry the hexagon and the nonagon onto itself

We have:

Nonagon = 9\ sides

Hexagon = 6\ sides

Divide 360 degrees by the number of sides in each angle, then find the multiples.

<u>Nonagon</u>

\theta = \frac{360}{9} =40

List the multiples of 40

\theta_1 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320

<u>Hexagon</u>

\theta = \frac{360}{6} =60

List the multiples of 60

\theta_2 = 60, 120, 180, 240, 300

List out the common angles

\theta_1 = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320

\theta_2 = 60, 120, 180, 240, 300

\theta_1 \ n\ \theta_2 = 120, 240

This means that, only a rotation of 120, 240 will lift both shapes onto themselves, when applied to both shapes.

The other angles will only work on one of the shapes, but not both at the same time.

Question 2:
The answer is 21
The two angles are vertically opposite, which makes them equal and also means we can make an equation:
4x - 4 = 3x + 17
- 3x
x - 4 = 14
+ 4
x = 21

Question 3:
The answer is 23
Again, the angles are vertically opposite, so we can make them equal each other:
5x - 53 = 3x - 7
- 3x
2x - 53 = -7
+ 53
2x = 46
÷ 2
x = 23

I hope this helps!

Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 3 and 4 and that the angle
rodikova [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the law of cosinse:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} − 2ab cos(C)

Suppose the two sides are a and b, and the angle betweent them is C.

c^{2} = 3^{2} + 4^{2} − 2*3*4 cos(60)

We can simplify this to get c^{2} =25-12=13

c=\sqrt{13}
