Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The length of the ladder  = 6.5077 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A ladder leans against the side of a house

Given the angle of elevation of the ladder is 66° when the bottom of the ladder is 16 ft from the side of the house

Let 'C' be the point of observation.

Given CA= 16 ft

  From right angle triangle

      cos C = (CB)/(CA)

     cos 66 = (x)/(16)

      x = 16 × cos 66°

     x = 16 × 0.4067

     x = 6.5077

   x = 6.5 ft

The length of the ladder = 6.5 ft

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle BDC is an angle inscribed in a circle.  As such it intercepts TWICE as many degrees of arc as its measure

so:   2 *   (3x-1.5)   = 3x+9

        6x -3 = 3x+9

          x = 4

then the arc AC = 3x+9 =  21 degrees  

What percent of 61 is 152.5?

Answers

Steps:
1. Do a proportion
152.5/61 times x/100
2. Do 152.5 times 100 which equals 15,250
3. Divide 15,250 by 61 which equals 250
4. Your answer is 250%

The number 152.5 is 250 percent of 61.

To find the chance, we can use the following formula

(Percentage / 100) Whole = Part

In this case, we want to find the chance, which is the unknown value. Let's denote it as "x."

(x/ 100) 61 = 152.5

To break for x, we can rearrange the equation

x = (152.5/ 61) 100

x ≈ 250

Thus, 152.5 is roughly 250 of 61.

Which estimate is the most reasonable for this problem?The distance to Louisa’s grandparents’ house is 791 miles. Louisa and her family have driven 114 miles. How much farther does Louisa’s family need to drive?

A.
500 mi

B.
550 mi

C.
600 mi

D.
700 mi

Answers

If you would like to know how much farther does Louisa's family need to drive, you can calculate this using the following steps:

791 miles - 114 miles = 677 miles ... 700 miles

The correct result would be D. 700 mi.

I ONLY NEED HELP WITH PART BAn equation is shown below:

5x + 3(x – 5) = 6x + 2x – 15

Part A: Solve the equation and write the number of solutions. Show all the steps. (6 points)

Part B: Name one property you used to solve this equation. (4 points)

Answers

Hi there

5x+3(x-5)=6x+2x-15

Simplify both sides of the equation

5x+3(x-5)=6x+2x-15

Distribute

5x+3x-15=6x+2x-15

Combine like terms

(5x+3x)-15= (6x+2x)-15

8x-15=8x-15

Subtract 8x from both sides

8x-15-8x=8x-15-8x

-15=-15

Add 15 to both sides

-15+15=-15+15

0=0

All real numbers are solutions

To solve this equation I used " The distributive property"


I hope that's help !

Good night !


Product A is an 8-oz. Bottle of cough medication that sells for $1.36. Product B is a 16-oz. Bottle of cough medication that cost $3.20. What product has the lower unit price?

Answers

Product A is 8 oz and sells for = $1.36

So, 1 oz of Product A will cost = (1.36)/(8) = $0.17

So, unit price of product A is $0.17

Product B is 16 oz and sells for = $3.20

So, 1 oz of product B will cost = (3.20)/(16) = 0.20

Unit price of product B is $0.20

Hence, comparing the two unit prices, Product A has a lower unit price.

Which best describes the range of the function f(x) = 2(3)x?y > 0

y ≥ 0

y > 2

y ≥ 2

Answers

The range of the function f(x) : 2.3^(x) is y > 0.

The correct option is (A)

What is range?

The definition of range is the set of all possible values that the function will give when we give in the domain as input.

Given function is : 2.3^(x)

If we draw the graph for this, then we can see that the horizontal asymptote is 0.

So,  the range is real numbers higher than 0.

Hence, the range should be y > 0.
