A ladder leans against the side of a house. The angle of elevation of the ladder is 72 degrees, and the top of the ladder is 13 ft above the ground. Find the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the house. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. I do not know math to save my life.

The distance measure is 4.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the house

To get this, we can see that what we have is a right-angled triangle

We need to apply the appropriate trigonometric identity to get the value of what we want

Let us call the measure we want to calculate x

Mathematically;

Tan 72 = 13/x

x = 13/tan 72

x = 4.2 ft

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
