Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 2) + (-2 + x) = 20
2x + 0 = 20
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10
Answer: the distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder is 6.84 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The scenario is shown in the attached photo.
Right angle triangle ABC is formed when the ladder leans against the wall of the house.
AC = the height of the ladder
AB = x feet = distance of the base of the house to the foot of the ladder
BC is the wall of the building.
To determine x, we will apply trigonometric ratio
Cos # = adjacent/hypotenuse
Where
# = 70 degrees
Hypotenuse = 20
Adjacent = x
Cos 70 = x/20
x = 20cos70
x = 20 × 0.3420
x = 6.84 feets
We set up a proportion: 80/?= 32/100
Cross multiply: 32*?= 80*100
⇒ ?= 80*100/32= 250
80 is 32% of 250.
Answer:
1 golf ball : $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
- You can first divide 6 and 15 by 3, and get 2 and 5.
- Then, you divide 5 by 2, which is 2.5
- Therefore, the unit rate is 1 golf ball : $2.50
