A 13 ft ladder is resting on a wall. The angle the ladder makes with the floor is 45 degrees. How high off the ground is the top of the ladder?

Use the function y=13cos(theta) to find the answer

9.19 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.  

Sin α = opposite side / hypotenuse  

Where α is the angle of elevation of the ladder to the ground, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle (in this case is the length of the ladder), and the opposite side (x) is the height of the top of the ladder above the ground.

Replacing with the values given:  

Sin 45 = x/ 13

Solving for x  

sin45 (13) =x  

x= 9.19 ft

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'

unless if u could do my questions, if not i wouldn't want to
