A 1414-ft ladder leans against a wall at a point 55 feet above the ground. how far is the bottom of the ladder from the wall?
give an exact answer, then approximate the distance to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
1 answer:
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.
Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.
Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h. Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14. theta is
0.365 radian. Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is
14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet. This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.

no idea sorry!!
Step-by-step explanation:
i think its the third but not sure
The correct answer is 400 yrds
Hope this helps
D because some of the inputs have the same output therefor it is not a function
I think it’s D because the ratio
One solution could be:
2/7 + 3/7 = 5/7
Another could be:
4/14 + 6/14 = 10/14 = 5/7
