(1) Joshua has a ladder that is 16 ft long. He wants to lean the ladder against a vertical wall so that the top of the ladder is 13.8 ft above the ground. For safety reasons, he wants the angle the ladder makes with the ground to be no greater than 65°.
What is the measure of this angle?
Will the ladder be safe at this height?
Show your work and draw a diagram to support your answer.

The diagram is attached below.

The hypotenuse is 16 feet, and the vertical leg of the triangle created by the ladder is 13.8 feet. We are looking for the angle opposite of the 13.8 ft side.

To find this angle, we will need to use an inverse trigonometric function. The function we will use is sine, because we are given the opposite side and hypotenuse.

sin(x) = 13.8 / 16

x = sin^-1(13.8 / 16)

x = 59.5985 degrees (feel free to round to wherever you need)

Yes, the ladder will be safe at this height, because 59.6 degrees is less than 65 degrees.

Hope this helps!! :)

7! = 7×6×5×4×3×2

3! = 3× 2

as 7! is multiple of 3! because 7! contains 3! that is 3× 2 as factor

so 7! /(3! ) = 7× 6× 5× 4

= 42 × 20

= 840

its b) 840✌✌✌

the results from a pre-test for students for the year 2000 and the year 2010 are illustrated in the box plot. what do these results tell us about how students performed on the 29 question pre-test for the two years?

if we compare only the lowest and highest scores between the two years, we might conclude that the students in 2010 did better than the students in 2010. this conclusion seems to follow since the lowest score of 8 in 2010 is greater in value than the lowest score of 6 in 2000. also, the highest score of 28 in 2010 is greater in value than the highest score of 27 in 2000.

but the box portion of the illustration gives us more detailed information. the middle bar in each box shows us that the median score of 20 in 2000 is greater in value than the median score of 17 in 2010. further, we note that the box and whiskers divide the illustration into four pieces. each of these four pieces represents the same portion of students. so, the upper half of the students in 2000 scored in the same score range as the upper one-fourth of the students in 2010, see the illustration at a score of 20.

by considering the upper one-fourth, upper half, and upper three-fourths instead of just the lowest and highest scores, we would conclude that the students as a whole did much better in 2000 than in 2010. we would conclude that as a whole the students in 2010 are less prepared than the students in 2000.

in this section, we discuss box-and-whisker plots and the five key values used in constructing a box-and-whisker plot. the key values are called a five-number summary, which consists of the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
