If you're looking to find X, then X would equal 16, since 16 minus 3 would equal 13
<h2>
The top of the ladder is descending at 0.3 m/s.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras theorem we know that
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²
h² = b² + p²
We have for ladder
h = 5 m
b = 3 m
5² = 3² + p²
p = 4 m

Differentiating h² = b² + p² with respect to time

The top of the ladder is descending at 0.3 m/s.
Draw an imaginary line from the vertex of angle x to the center of the circle.
This divides the 4-sided polygon into two right triangles. For example, the upper right triangle has an acute angle whose measure is 135 degrees / 2, or 67.5 degrees, and the another acute angle whose measure is x/2.
x/2 and 67.5 degrees are complementary angles, so x/2 + 67.5 deg = 90 deg. Thus, x/2 = 22.5 deg, and so x = 45 deg. (answer)
