Answer:

The ladder is not safe at this height. The height from ground to top of the ladder is < 11.6 ft for safety reasons and this can be determined by using trigonometry functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is not safe at this height. The height from ground to top of the ladder is < 11.6 ft for safety reasons and this can be determined by using trigonometry functions.

Given :

Joshua has a ladder that is 12 ft long.

He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 11.8 ft above the ground.

For safety reasons, he wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 75°.

Check the angle that the ladder makes with the ground:

The ladder is safe when the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 75° but  is  so, the ladder won't be safe.

To make the ladder safe, the height should not be 11.8ft.

The height from ground to top of the ladder is < 11.6 ft for safety reasons.

S, U, N are collinear. What point is between the other two if NU = 1, SU = 2, SN = 3? NU + US = NS.
tigry1 [53]
U is between N and S.
The order of the letters does not matter, thus:
NU = 1 and US = 2 so NS = 3.
This is only possible if NU + US = NS
Proving U is between N and S.

In January of 2011, the U.S. saw an increase in gas prices. Imagine the average price per gallon was $3.12 with a standard devia
Arada [10]

Answer:

31.92%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Population mean; μ = $3.12

Sample mean; x¯ = $3.16

Sample size; n = 10

Standard deviation; σ = $0.27

Z-score formula is; z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (3.16 - 3.12)/(0.27/√10)

z = 0.04/(0.08538)

z ≈ 0.47

Now, the percent of other sample means, based on 10 gas stations, that would be greater than the one observed is;

P(x¯ > 3.12) = 1 - P(z < 0.47)

From z-table attached P(z < 0.47) = 0.68082

Thus;

P(z > 0.47) = 1 - 0.68082

P(z > 0.47) ≈ 0.3192

This expressed in percentage is 31.92%

Rationalize the denominator of sqrt -9 / (4-7i) - (6-6i) ...?
Colt1911 [192]
√(- 9 ) / (( 4 - 7 i ) - ( 6 - 6 i )) = 3 i / ( 4 - 7 i - 6 + 6 i ) =
= 3 i / ( - 2 - i ) = - 3 i / ( 2 + i ) =
= \frac{-3i}{2 + i}* \frac{2 - i}{2 - i}= \\ =   \frac{-6i+3i ^{2} }{2- i^{2} }= \\ = \frac{-3-6i}{2+1}= \frac{-3-6i}{3}=
= - 1 - 2 i

The extensions of the legs AB and CD of a trapezoid ABCD intersect at point E. Find the lengths of the sides of △AED if AB=5cm,
Lynna [10]

Answer:

  AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...

   AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE

Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...

  15/10 = 1 + 5/BE

  1/2 = 5/BE

  BE = 10

Similarly, ...

  1/2 = 6/CE

  CE = 12

Then the unknown sides are ...

  AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm

  ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm
