"A 20-foot ladder leans against the side of a house. The bottom of the ladder is 6 feet away from the house. What is the measure of the angle formed by the ladder and the ground?" How do I answer this?

Value of θ [Angle of elevation] = 72.54°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of foot ladder = 20 feet

Distance of foot from house (Base) = 6 feet

Find:

Angle of elevation

Computation:

Using trigonometry functions

Cos θ = Base / Hypotenuse

Cos θ = Distance of foot from house (Base) / Length of foot ladder

Cos θ = 6 / 20

Cos θ = 0.3

Cos θ = Cos 72.54

Value of θ [Angle of elevation] = 72.54°

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
