dion places a ladder against The side of his house as shown in the diagram below. Dion’s water is 26 feet long, and he places the ladder at a 70° angle with the ground, represented by zero

Complete question :

dion places a ladder against The side of his house as shown in the diagram below. Dion’s water is 26 feet long, and he places the ladder at a 70° angle with the ground, How high does the ladder reach up the side of the building?.

24.43 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry :

Sinθ = opposite / hypotenus

Opposite = height, h

Hypotenus = 26

Sin 70° = h / 26

0.9396926 * 26 = h

height, h = 24.43 feets

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
