What to do: Complete each of the following problems involving ladders and walls by using trigonometric functions and inverse trigonometric functions to determine unknown lengths and angle measures.


Questions:

a) A ladder is placed against the wall of a building such that the bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the bottom of the wall. If the ladder forms a 14 degree angle with the building, how high up the wall does the ladder reach?


b) A 15 foot ladder is leaned against a wall so that the bottom of the ladder forms a 75 degree angle with the ground. How far up the wall does the ladder reach?


c) You need to paint shutters on a window that is on the second floor of your house. You have a 20 foot ladder that you will use. There is a warning on the ladder that states the angle formed by the ladder and the ground must not be less than 70 degrees, or the ladder may slip and cause serious injury or death. You planned on placing the bottom of the ladder 3 feet from the base of the house.

Will the angle formed between the ground and the ladder be safe? What is the furthest possible distance the ladder can be placed to maintain a safe angle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) x be the height of the wall

[tex]tan \ 14 =\dfrac{opposite \ side}{adjacent \ side}\\\\\\0.2493 = \dfrac{3}{x}\\\\\\x*0.25 = 3\\\\x = \dfrac{3}{0.25}\\\\\\x = 12 ft[/tex]

b) Let y be the hieght of  the wall

[tex]Sin \ 75 = \dfrac{opposite \ side}{hypotenuse}\\\\\\0.9659 = \dfrac{y}{15}\\\\\\0.97*15=y\\\\[/tex]

y = 14.6 ft

c) Let the angle formed between the bottom of the ladder to the ground be 'x'

[tex]Cos \x =\dfrac{adjacent \side}{hypotenuse}\\\\Cos \ x =\dfrac{3}{20}\\\\\\Cos \x = 0.15\\\\x = Cos^{-1} \ (0.15)\\\\[/tex]

x = 81°

No, the angle formed between the ground and the ladder is not safe as it is more than 70°

Let the farthest possible distance ladder placed from the wall be 'y'

[tex]Cos \ 70 =\dfrac{adjacent \ side }{hypotenuse}\\\\0.342 = \dfrac{y}{20}\\\\0.3*20=y[/tex]

y = 6 ft

6 ft is the furthest possible distance the ladder can be placed to maintain a safe angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

m<2: 65°( vertically opposite angle)

m<3: 180°-65°=115°(sum of straight line)

m<4: 180°- 65° = 115° (sum of straight line)

Draw a line between 5 and 6.

m<5: 180°- m<7=180-115=65

m<7 = m<4=115°(corresponding angle)

m<8 = m<5 =65°(vertically opposite angle)

m<6=m<7=115°( vertically opposite angle)

Describe how to compare the two ratios 5:8 to 7:9. Tell each step to set up the ratios, then explain what to do to be able to compare the ratios. Finally make sure to answer how the ratios compare. ~ 100 POINTS AND ILL GIVE YOU BRAINLIEST IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY AND 5 SENTENCES NEEDED

Answers

Answer:

5/8 is smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777

Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.

0.77777  is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.

Steps:-

First rewriteThen convert to fractionsThen divide both

Find the area of the shape shown below. ​ ​

Answers

Answer:

12 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle: bh/2 = (2)(3)/2 = 3

Area of square: bh = (2)(3) = 6

Total area of the shape = 2 triangles + 1 square

Total area = 2(3) + 6 = 12 cm²

I hope this helps!

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the area of the shape 2 different ways.

I'll show you both ways.

First Way: find the area of each individual shape that makes it up then add them together

We can find the area by finding the area of the rectangle and then the two triangles and then adding the two multiples together

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Length = 3 and width = 2

So area = 3 × 2 = 6

Now to find the area of the triangles

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

Where b = base length and h = height

The base length is 2 and the height is 3

So area = 1/2 × 2 × 3 = 3

There are two triangles and they both have the same dimensions

So the area of both triangles = 2 × 3 = 6

Finally we add the areas together to get the total area

Total Area = 6 + 6 = 12cm²

Second way : Use the area of a trapezoid formula:

The shape shown is a trapezoid so we could also use the area of a trapezoid formula.

Formula : [tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]

where a and b = base lengths and h = height

The base lengths appear to be 2 and 6 and the height is 3

So a = 2 , b = 6 and h = 3

Which means [tex]A=\frac{2+6}{2} 3[/tex]

Simplify addition

[tex]A=\frac{8}{2} 3[/tex]

simplify division

A = (4)3

Then multiply
A = 12cm²

Find all the values of k so that the quadratic expression factors into two binomials. Explain the process used to find the values.

3x^2 + kx - 8

Answers

Answer:

Any value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic expression can be factored into two binomials if it has two real roots.

Two real roots possible with non-negative discriminant:

D ≥ 0

As D = b² - 4ac, we get the following inequality

k² - 4(3)(-8) ≥ 0k² + 96 ≥ 0k² ≥ - 96

This is true for any value of k

k ∈ (- ∞, + ∞)

Answer:

(-∞, ∞)  or  [tex]k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial:  two terms connected by a plus or minus sign.

Discriminant

[tex]b^2-4ac\quad\textsf{when}\:ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac > 0 \implies \textsf{two real roots}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac=0 \implies \textsf{one real root}[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{when }\:b^2-4ac < 0 \implies \textsf{no real roots}[/tex]

If a quadratic expression factors into two binomials, it will have two real roots.  Therefore, the discriminant will be greater than zero.

Given quadratic expression:

  [tex]3x^2+kx-8[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=3, \quad b=k, \quad c=-8[/tex]

Substitute the values of a, b and c into the discriminant, set it to > 0:

[tex]\implies k^2-4(3)(-8) > 0[/tex]

[tex]\implies k^2+96 > 0[/tex]

As k² ≥ 0 for all real numbers,

[tex]\implies k^2+96 \geq 96[/tex]

Therefore, the values of k are (-∞, ∞)  or  [tex]k \in \mathbb{R}[/tex]

Answers

The total US dollars it cost to Tom to get the rupees he wants for the trip of India is $270 round to the nearest dollar.

How to calculate the percentage?

Percentage of a number is the part of the number expressed in the in every hundred. Percentage of a number is expressed with the symbol '%'.

To calculate the percentage part of number, multiply it with the original number and divide with 100.

Tom is exchanging money for his trip to india. The exchange rate of us dollars to indian rupees is,

[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{45.897}[/tex]

Tom needs 11,550 rupees. The dollars need for 11550 Indian rupees are,

[tex]n=\dfrac{11550}{45.897}\\n=251.65[/tex]

The currency exchange service he is using charges a fee of 7.25% after the exchange is made. Thus the total dollar requied after the service charge is,

[tex]n=251.65+\dfrac{7.25}{100}\times251.65\\n=251.65+18.245\\n=269.895\\n\approx270[/tex]

Thus, the total US dollars it cost to Tom to get the rupees he wants for the trip of India is $270 round to the nearest dollar.

[tex]:\implies \quad \sf - 3(x + 5) = - 9[/tex]

First, distribute the given problem :

[tex]:\implies \quad \sf - 3(x + 5) = - 9[/tex]

[tex] \sf:\implies \quad - (3 \times x) - (3 \times 5) = - 9[/tex]

Add 15 to both sides :

[tex] \sf:\implies \quad - 3x - 15 = - 9[/tex]

[tex] \sf:\implies \quad - 3x - 15 + 15 = - 9 + 15[/tex]

On simplifying :

[tex] \sf:\implies \quad -3x-15+15 = -9+15[/tex]

[tex] \sf:\implies \quad - 3x = 6[/tex]

Dividing both sides with same factor :

[tex] \sf:\implies \quad - 3x = 6[/tex]
