A ladder leaning against a building makes an angle of 78 degrees with the ground. The foot of the ladder is 5 feet from the building. How long is the ladder?

9514 1404 393

  24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The side adjacent to the angle is given, and the hypotenuse of the triangle is the unknown. The cosine relation applies:

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  hypotenuse = ladder length = (5 ft)/cos(78°) ≈ 24.0 ft

The ladder is about 24 feet long.

javeir earned 56 dollors more than kyle so kyle and javier had 14w but javier made 56 dollors more so 14w plus 56 equals 70w so kyle has 14w

step-by-step explanation: hope i plz give me brainliest with the points so this is not constant cause it says last week so its clearly not every week

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
