Answer:
If you add 5 to a, it will be greater than b
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because if you have the inequality y<x+5 a=x b=y so by adding 5 to a meaning x 5+a will still be greater than b(y) with out changing the sign or inequality.
Cosα=x/L
L=x/cosα, we are told that the ladder base is 48 ft from the base of the wall and α=39° so:
L=48/cos39 ft
L≈61.76 ft (to nearest hundredth of a foot)
They gave you the lengths showing each side of the original triangle is congruent to each side of the new triangle. There is no information to show if the triangle was rotated or reflected, so although it is possible that it was, we can't really tell. All we know is the triangles are congruent.
