Answer:
7 feet long
Step-by-step explanation:
This set up will give a right angle triangle where;
Length of the ladder is the hypotenuse = x
The distance of the ladder to the house is the adjacent = 3 feet
Angle of elevation theta = 72 degrees
Using the CAH in trigonometry identity;
cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos 72 = 3/hyp
hyp = 3/cos72
hyp = 3/0.4258
hyp = 7.05 feet
Hence the ladder is approximately 7 feet long
So you have 3 and you want to get rid of 2 2/5. 3-2 is 1 1-2/5 is equal to three fifths, which is the answer.
Answer: -25
