10. A 50-ft ladder leans against a building so that the base of the ladder is 15 feet from the

1 answer:

6 0

By applying the trigonometry ratio, SOH, the angle that the ladder makes with the building is calculated as: 17.5°

Recall:

Trigonometry ratios that can be used to solve a right triangle are: SOH CAH TOA.

SOH represents: sin ∅ = Opp/Hyp

CAH represents: cos ∅ = Adj/Hyp

TOA represents: tan ∅ = Opp/Adj

The diagram attached below depicts the problem given.

∅ = x

Opp = 15 ft

Hyp = 50 ft

Thus, applying the trigonometry ratio, SOH, we have:

sin x = 15/50

x = $sin^{-1}(15/50)$

x = 17.5°

In conclusion, by applying the trigonometry ratio, SOH, the angle that the ladder makes with the building is calculated as: 17.5°

Solve the equation. 4s=2/5 s= (Type a whole number, fraction, or mixed number.)

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

s = 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, divide both sides by 4 to get s by itself.

(2/5) / 4 = 1/10

s = 1/10

Change the expression to a single square root, or its opposite:

aleksley [76]

Answer:

a) $2\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{8}$

b) $-7\sqrt{3} =-\sqrt{147}$

c) $\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{18b} =\sqrt{2.b}$

d) $5\sqrt{y} =\sqrt{25y}$

e) $-6\sqrt{2a} =-\sqrt{72a}$

f) $-0.1\sqrt{200c}=- \sqrt{2c$

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $2\sqrt{2}=( \sqrt{2} )^2.\sqrt{2}=(\sqrt{2})^3 = \sqrt{2^3} =\sqrt{8}$

b) $-7\sqrt{3} =-(\sqrt{7} )^2\sqrt{3} =-\sqrt{7^2.3} =-\sqrt{147}$

c) $\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{18b} =\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{9.2.b} =\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{3^2.2.b} =\frac{1}{3} \times 3\sqrt{2.b} =\sqrt{2.b}$

d) $5\sqrt{y} =\sqrt{5^2} \sqrt{y}=\sqrt{25y}$

e) $-6\sqrt{2a} =-\sqrt{6^2}\sqrt{2a} = -\sqrt{36.2a} =-\sqrt{72a}$

f) $-0.1\sqrt{200c}=-\frac{1}{10} \sqrt{10^2.2c} =-\frac{1}{10}\times10 \sqrt{2c}=- \sqrt{2c$

E(5,3) and F (2,-1) are two vertices of a square EFGH and H is in the x-axis .Find the coordinates of H and G. Please need answe

timurjin [86]

Answer:

coordinates of H = (1, 0)

Coordinates of G = ( - 3.6, -2) or (5.6, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

E(5,3) and F (2,-1) are two vertices of a square EFGH and H is in the x-axis.

Let the coordinates of H is (x, 0) and G is (a, b).

The length of side EF is

$EF = \sqrt{(5 -2)^2 + (3 +1)^2} = 5$

So,

$EH = \sqrt{(5 -x)^2 + (3 -0)^2} = 5\\\\(5 -x)^2+ 9 = 25\\\\5 - x = 4\\\\x = 1$

And

$GH = \sqrt{(a -x)^2+ b^2} = 5\\\\(a -1)^2+ b^2 = 25\\\\a^2 + b^2 + 1 - 2 a = 25\\\\a^2 + b^2 - 2a = 24 .... (1)$

Now

$FG = \sqrt{(a -2)^2+ (b +1)^2} = 5\\\\(a -2)^2+ (b+1)^2 = 25\\\\a^2 + b^2 + 2b - 2 a = 20\\ ..... (2)$

Solving (1) and (2)

b = - 2 ,

$a = \frac{2 \pm\sqrt{4 + 80}}{2}\\\\a = \frac{2 \pm 9.2}{2}\\\\a = - 3.6, 5.6$
