I used a dash line because the term 'less than' does not include the value itself.
its d, I just solved it...
X/5 = 24/8
(because the triangles are similar)
x/5 = 3
x = 5*3 = 15 Answer
a/27 = 8/24 = 1/3
a = 9 Answer
8513 is NOT divisible by 9, because the some of its digits (8+5+1+3) = 17 which is not divisible by 9 (answer B)
The ladder and the wall it leans on are illustrations of right triangle
The horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet
<h3>How to determine the horizontal distance?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Length (L) = 26 feet
Angle of elevation (θ) = 78 degrees
The horizontal distance (D) is calculated using the following cosine ratio
cos(θ) = D/L
Substitute known values
cos(78) = D/26
Make D the subject
D = 26 * cos(78)
Multiply
D = 5.41
Hence, the horizontal distance from the base of the ladder is 5.41 feet
