52 ft is less than 912.
There is 12 inches in a foot, so I did 52 x 12 = 624. 624 is less than 912.
Answer:
First answer is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
28/11.2 = 2.5
since they are similar and openly stated as parrallelograms, you know that they have a scale of the longest edge of EFGH to the longest edge of JKLM
The ground, the building, and the ladder form a right triangle, in which
the leaning ladder is the hypotenuse.
For the angle between the ladder and the ground, the 4-ft along the ground
is the side adjacent to the angle, and the 7-ft ladder is the hypotenuse.
(adjacent side) / (hypotenuse) = cosine of the angle.
Cosine(a) = 4/7 = 0.57143... (rounded)
Angle 'a' = <em>55.15 degrees</em> (rounded)
