A 20 foot ladder is leaning up against the side of a house. The construction worker who put it there followed the directions on the ladder's specifications which said to make sure the ladder was at least 8 feet away from the base of the wall to ensure safety. Say we want to re-word the directions and specify the angle of elevation of the ladder instead. What could the directions say about the angle of elevation?

Keep the ladder at a 66 degree angle of elevation at most.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse is 20 feet

Adjacent side is 8 feet

We use inverse cosine to find the angle

arccos(8/20) = 66.4 deg

the answer is 8

step-by-step explanation:

3.14 x 8x8

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to

put in or use mine
