An 18-foot ladder is leaning against the side of a building such that its base makes an angle of 65º with the ground. How far from the side of the building, b, should the base of the ladder be placed? Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Answers
Hello!
This problem is about relating trigonometric values to an unknown side.
We are given an angle side, and we can determine that another angle made would be a 90 degree angle.
Meaning we could solve for the third unknown angle by knowing that the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
[tex]65+90+x+180[/tex]
[tex]x=180-90-65[/tex]
[tex]x=25[/tex]
After knowing this, we could use the law of sines, which states that the ratio of a side and the sin of its opposite angle are equal to any other ratio.
[tex]\frac{16}{sin(90)}=\frac{b}{sin(25)}[/tex]
[tex]b=16sin(25)[/tex]
Make sure to be in degrees when putting this in a calculator.
[tex]b=6.8[/tex]
Hope this helps!

Solve the system of equations 3x+2y=223x+2y=22 and -4x+3y=16−4x+3y=16 by combining the equations.
Answers
Answer:
(2, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation
3x+2y=22 ... *4
-4x+3y=16 .... *3
Using the elimination method
12x + 8y = 88
-12x + 9y = 48
Add
8y + 9y = 88+48
17y = 136
y = 136/17
y = 8
Recall that
3x+2y=22
3x+2(8)=22
3x + 16 = 22
3x = 22-16
3x = 6
x = 6/3
x = 2
Hence the required solution (x, y) is (2, 8)
From the top of a light house 60 meters high with its base at sea level, the angle of depression to a boat is 15o. What is the distance of the boat from the foot of the light house?
Answers
Answer:
Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height of light house = 60 meters
Angle of depression to boat = 15°
Find:
Distance between boat and light house
Computation:
Using trigonometry application:
Tanθ = Perpendicular / Base
Tan 15 = Height of light house / Distance between boat and light house
0.268 = 60 / Distance between boat and light house
Distance between boat and light house = 60 / 0.268
Distance between boat and light house = 223.88 meter (Approx.)

A biologist was sitting near a pond and noticed a large number of dragonflies. He also saw both frogs and fish trying to eat the
dragonflies. He counted a total of 89 fish, frogs, and dragonflies. He noticed that there were four times as many dragonflies as fish and
that the frogs were five more than twice the number of fish
Answers
89 /3
frogs = 29.6
fish = 29.6
dragonflies = 29.6
all of them equal 89
a = fish = 12
b = frog = 29
c = dragonflies = 48
a + b + c = 89
c = 4a (four times as many dragonflies as fish)
b = 2a + 5 (frogs were five more than twice the number of fish)
Then substitute for b and c in the big equation:
a + (2a + 5) + 4a = 89
Combine like terms:
7a + 5 = 89
Subtract 5 from both sides:
7a = 84
Divide both sides by 7:
a = 12
Now use this to solve for b and c
c = 4(12) = 48
b = 2(12) + 5 = 24 + 5 = 29

What is a sinusoidal Function?It is a function that repeats itself in a particular time interval.
The equation is given as
y = A sin (ωx + Ф) + C
Where A is the amplitude, ω is the frequency, Ф is the phase difference, and C is the constant.
The function is given below.
f(x) = (5/4) sin(x) + 1
Compare the function with standard equation.
A = 5 / 4
ω = 1
Ф = 0
C = 1
Then the maximum value of the function at sin x = 1, will be
Maximum value = 5/4 + 1
Maximum value = 9/4
Then the minimum value of the function at sin x = –1, will be
Minimum value = –5/4 + 1
Minimum value = –1/4
In the interval of (0, π/2), the function is decreasing.
And the range of the function will be [–1/4, 9/4].

State if the triangles in each pair are similar. Remember a) AA/SAS/SSS
b) prove it. C) write a similarity statement.
Answers
Note how we have a segment that is also 4 units long in the other triangle; however, we won't use that one just yet. Instead, we'll go for the 2 unit segment. As it turns out, every piece of the triangle on the right side is half that of the left side triangle.
Segment ED is 2 units long. So AB and ED pair up
------------------------------
BC is 8 units long; DF is 4 units long (half of BC). So BC and DF pair up
I started at A, went to B, then to C in that exact order marking the side lengths of 4 and 8 respectively. At the same time for the other triangle, I started at E, moved to D, then to F recording the side lengths 2 and 4
So A pairs up with E, B pairs with D, and C pairs with F
Therefore, triangle ABC is similar to triangle EDF. The order is very important so that the points line up and correspond in the proper manner.
I used the SSS (side side side) similarity theorem to prove the triangles similar. This theorem says that if the sides are in proportion to one another, then the triangles are similar.

Mean is 5.2 Median is $6.00
Step-by-step explanation:
To find mean u have to find the "average" whereby u add all the numbers and divide by the number of numbers.
($2+$4+$6+$6+$8)= $26. Then since there are 5 numbers in all u divide by 5.
$26÷5 =5.2 5.2 is the median.
Median is the middle number. To find it u have to rearrange the numbers from smallest to largest and find the middle number.
$2, $4, {$6,} $6, $8

$100 are shared between Adam and Hamza in the ratio 1:3.
A)
How many dollars did Adam receive?
How many dollars did Hamza receive?
Answers
Answer:
$25 for Adam and $75 for Hamza
Step-by-step explanation:
$100 will be divided to 3 + 1 = 4 parts
the dollars Adam received
= $100 × 1/4
= $25
the dollars Hamza received
= $100 × 3/4
= $75
-----------------------------------------------------------
the dollars Hamza give to Adam
= $75 × 25%
= $75 × 25/100
= $18.75
the dollars Adam have
= $25 + $18.75
= $43.75
the dollars Hamza have
= $75 - $18.75
= $56.25
the ratio
= 43.75：56.25
= 7：9
