How High Up The Wall Can A 12-foot Ladder Reach If Its Base Is 4 Feet From The Wall? Round Your Answer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

let x= answer

x²+4²=12²

x²=128

x=11.3137085

which rounds to

11.3

Answer 2

Answer:

11.3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we must use some trigonometry, in this case, SOH-CAH-TOA. If you don't know what it is, here's a quick explanation:

- SOH: Sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

- CAH: Cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

- TOA: Tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

(Remember, SOH-CAH-TOA can ONLY be used for right triangles. If the problem does not clearly show a right triangle, meaning that there's no box in the corner, you cannot use it)

When using SOH-CAH-TOA, we first must choose an angle, either the top one or the bottom one. We can't use the right angle as, well, you just can't :). First, we have to find the bottom angle, so circle it. Literally, just circle the angle, you'll thank me later. I'll explain why we don't solve the top angle later on.

After that, we just do some labeling on the sides of the triangle. First, label the shortest side that forms the circled angle, which is the floor (4 ft), as the Adjacent side. Then label the longest side of the triangle, which is the ladder (12 ft), as the Hypotenuse. Finally, label the side that doesn't form the circled angle as the Opposite side. This is why the circling comes in handy :)

Then, out of SOH, CAH, and TOA, we choose the one that has the sides that forms the circled angle. In this case, it's CAH, or cosine, as the adjacent and hypotenuse form the circled angle.

Next, we write out the formula and solve:

Cos(m∠Circled Angle) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Cos(m∠Circled Angle) = 4/12

Cos(m∠Circled Angle) x Cos^-1 = 1/3 x Cos^-1

m∠Circled Angle ≈ 70.5288 (Rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth)

Note: Pay attention to the 3rd line. 'Cos^-1' is basically the equivalent of '÷ Cos'.

The reason why we did the bottom angle first is because you cannot have two unknown variables when solving for one of them. That would've been the case if we did choose the top angle as we wouldn't know the measure of the wall nor the angle. Now that we have solved the bottom angle, we can move onto solving the length of the wall.

Looking at SOH-CAH-TOA, we can either use sine or tangent as we have the measures for both the adjacent and hypotenuse. I'll use sine cause why not? Anyways, let's move on!

Just like last time, we write out the formula and solve:

Sin(m∠Circled Angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse

Sin(70.5288) = Opposite/12

0.9428 = Opposite/12

0.9428 x 12 = Opposite/12 x 12

11.3137 ≈ Opposite (Wall)

Wall ≈ 11.3 ft. (Rounding to the nearest tenth, as asked to do so by the problem)

Note: Be careful with SOH-CAH-TOA because I've messed up multiple times with my calculator while typing out my explanation, so just make sure you go over it several times before submitting your answer when solving trig problems :). But I'm confident with my answer, so just submit it without hesitation as I've already double-checked my work.

Function g can be thought of as a scaled version of f(x)=|x|

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = 1/2 |x|

Step-by-step explanation:

Scaling f(x) means it's of the form g(x) = a|x|

From the graph, it appears to pass through the point (2, 1). By subbing in the values for this point, the equation can be found to be:

1 = a|2|

a = 1/2

Therefore, g(x) = 1/2 |x|

Answer:

3300cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

30cm+30cm=60cm 60cm is the lengh of the whole joint structure.We will put it in the equation as "a".

heigh stays the same(10cm) because the pieces are not stacked one on top of the other.They are joined on their sides.We will put it as "c".

Widht also stays the same.its 15 cm and we will put it as letter "b".

So

a=60cm

b=15cm

c=10cm

We need to calculate the surface area of the entire joint structure.

1.First thing to do is to calculate the top part which is:

a*b=15*60=900cm²

2.The bootom side is the same 900cm².

3.The front side is:

a*c=60*10=600cm²

4.The back side is the same as front so it is 600cm².

5.The left side is:

c*b=10*15=150cm²

6.The right side is the same as the left and it is 150cm²

Now we just add it up.

S(surface)=900*2+600*2+150*2=3300cm²

If you want the whole exercise in one equation:

S=2*(a*b)+2*(a*c)+2*(b*c)

Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of point B are (x, y).

Since the rotation is clockwise the angle measure between OA and OB is -60° (IV quadrant).

x = 15 cos (-60°) = 7.5y = 15 sin (-60°) = -12.99

The distance between A and B is:

AB = [tex]\sqrt{(15-7.5)^2+(0+12.99)^2} = \sqrt{225}[/tex] = 15 unitsAnother solution

Since OA = OB = 15 units and AOB is 60° angle the triangle OAB is equilateral. Hence AB is same as OA and OB, so AB = 15 units.

When a sprinkler is installed in the ground, the spray of water goes up and falls in the pattern of a parabola. The height, in inches, of a spray of water is given by the equation h(x)=160x−16x2 where x is the number of feet away from the sprinkler head the spray is. What is the height of the spray 2 feet away from the sprinkler head?

Answers

Answer:

(1) 256 inches

(2) 5 feet

(3) 400 inches

(4) 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) The function that gives the height in inches of the spray of water at a distance x from the sprinkler head is given as follows;

h(x) = 160·x - 16·x²

At x = 2 feet, we have;

h(2) = 160 × 2 - 16 × 2² = 256

Therefore, the height of the spray water at a horizontal distance of 2 feet from the sprinkler head h(2) = 256 inches

(2) The x-coordinate, [tex]x_{max}[/tex], of the maximum point of a parabola given in the form, y = a·x² + b·x + c is found using the following formula;

[tex]x_{max}[/tex] = -b/(2·a)

The x-coordinate, [tex]x_{max}[/tex], of the maximum point of the given equation of the parabola, h(x) = 160·x - 16·x², (a = -16, b = 160) is therefore;

[tex]x_{max}[/tex] = -160/(2 × (-16)) = 5

Therefore, the number of feet along the way, the function will reach maximum height, [tex]x_{max}[/tex] = 5 feet

(3) The function, h(x) = 160·x - 16·x², will reach maximum height, [tex]h_{max}[/tex], at x = 5, therefore;

[tex]h_{max}[/tex] =  h(5) = 160 × 5 - 16 × 5² = 400

The maximum height of the spray, [tex]h_{max}[/tex] = 400 inches

(4) The water is at ground level where h(x) = 0, therefore;

At ground level, h(x) = 0 = 160·x - 16·x²

160·x - 16·x² = 0

∴ 16·x × (10 - x) = 0

By zero product rule, we 16·x = 0, or (10 - x)  = 0, from which we have;

x = 0, or x = 10

The water is at ground level at x = 0 and x = 10 feet, therefore, the water will hit the ground again (the second time after leaving the sprinkler head at x = 0) at x = 10 feet.

smallest two digit prime number = 11

now, y² + 997 + 11 = 32²

or, y² + 1008 = 1024

or, y² = 1024 - 1008

or, y² = 16
