Answer:
8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
the ladder will make a right angle triangle with the house. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the ladder, 20 ft, and the height of the triagnle is 18 ft.
Solve for the base of the right angle triangle using pythagorean's theorem:
c=20, a=18, b=?



round to the nearest foot,
b = 8 ft
ANSWER
The correct choice is A.
EXPLANATION
The given cosine function is:

This function has an amplitude of 2.
Hence it must have range,
-2≤f(t)≤2
It has a period of

Hence the function must complete one cycle on the interval,
[0,½π],
[½π,π],
etc.
The negative sign shows a reflection in the y-axis but since the cosine function is even, the function retraces itself.
The correct choice is A

Answer:
148ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, you'll have to imagine the statue makes a right angle triangle with the base since it has an angle of elevation from the base to the top of the torch.
Assuming the height from the pedestal to the top of the torch is y
The height of the statue is x
But we know the height of the pedestal = 150ft
The distance from the observer to the base of the pedestal = 250ft
And the angle of elevation = 50°
See attached document for better illustration.
Tanθ = opposite / adjacent
θ = 50°
Adjacent = 250
Opposite = y
Tan50 = t / 250
y = 50 × tan50
y = 50 × tan50
y = 50 × 1.1917
y = 297.925ft
The height of the statue from the base of the pedestal to the top of the torch is 297.925ft
The height of the statue = x
x = (height of the statue + height of the pedestal) - height of the pedestal
x = y - 150
x = 297.925 - 150
x = 147.925ft
Approximately 148ft
The height of the statue is 148ft
