A fire department needs to raise its ladder to the 5th story window which is
approximately 55 feet off of the ground. The ladder
can extend to a length of 60 feet. This ladder is
already 8 feet off of the ground because it is on top
of the truck. If the ladder is fully extended when
reaching the window, how far away should the base
of the ladder be from the building? Round the
answer to the nearest foot.
A. 5 feet
B. 24 feet
C. 37 feet
D. 81 feet

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

c. side angle side. u shares the same sides

80 the answer is 80

step-by-step explanation:

d. 145*2 is 290 than the total angle is 360 then minus 290 then divide by two
