Mr. Haley is leaning a ladder against the side of his house to repair the roof.
1 answer:
Answer:
15 ft
Explanation:
We can represent the situation with the following figure
Therefore, the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed, where the legs are 12 ft and 9 ft. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the ladder as
Therefore, the length of the ladder is 15 ft

<h3>How to interpret Cycle Graphs?</h3>
From the diagram attached, we can say that;
Period = 2π/k
where;
k = 2π/2.25
k = 8π/9
Thus;
h(t) = -(48/2) cos (8π/9)t + ((48/2) + 0.5)
h(t) = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5
Riders can see Niagara falls if they are higher than 41 meters above the ground. Thus;
41 = -24cos (8π/9)t + 24.5
41 - 24.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t
16.5 = -24cos (8π/9)t
-0.6875 = cos (8π/9)t
cos⁻¹0.6875 = (8π/9)t
t = 0.834 min
Thus, time interval is between;
0.834 < t < (2.25 - 0.834)
⇒ 0.834 < t < 1.416 and
(2.25 + 0.834) < t < (2.25 + 1.416)
⇒ (3.084, 3.666)
