m□ebd=4 x-8 and m□ebc=5 x+20
This is solvable only if e b is the initial side and b d and b c lies on opposite side of each other and lies on a line i.e c,b,d are Collinear.
∠ebd and ∠ebc will form a linear pair.The meaning of linear pair is that angles forming on one side of a straight line through a common vertex which are adjacent is 180°.
i.e
∠ ebd + ∠ebc = 180°
4 x- 8 + 5x + 20= 180°
adding like terms
⇒ 9 x +12 =180°
⇒ 9 x = 180° - 12
⇒ 9 x = 168°
⇒ x =( 168/9)°=(56/3)°
now m□ebc =5 x +20
= 5 × 56/3 + 20
= 280/3 + 20
=340/3
m□ebc=( 340/3)°
So, solution set is x =(56/3)° and m□ebc =(340/3)°
Answer:
30 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a classic right triangle problem, where the length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse, where the ladder is lengthwise from the building is the base of the triangle, and what we are looking for is the height of the triangle. Pythagorean's Theorem will help us find this length.
so
1024 - 100 = y^2 and
y = 30.4 so 30 feet
