The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 70°. The base of the
ladder is 1.4 meters from the base of the wall. Find the length of the ladder to the
nearest tenth of a meter. *

Refer to the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the angle where the ladder touches the wall at the top is a 70 degree angle, which must mean that the ladder touching the floor would be a 20 degree angle. This would be OPPOSITE / ADJACENT or TANGENT (TAN).

The TAN(20) = 2.2, when 2.2 is multiplied by the height of the ladder (1.4), you get 3.08 but rounding to the nearest tenth of a meter gives you 3.1m as the length of the ladder.

3.1m

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
