It might help to draw a triangle to represent what's going on. See the diagram below.
Let's call the triangle ABC. We'll place point A at the 90 degree angle, so it's at the base of the tower. Place point B where the knight is located. Point C is the location of the window in the tower.
The knight is 15 feet away from the base, meaning AB = 15. With respect to the reference angle (B = 60), side AB = 15 is the adjacent side. The length of the ladder BC is the unknown hypotenuse. We'll call this x for now.
We'll use the cosine rule to connect the adjacent and hypotenuse.
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(B) = AB/BC
cos(60) = 15/x
x*cos(60) = 15
x = 15/cos(60)
x = 30
Your calculator needs to be in degree mode.
Because x = 30, we conclude that the ladder needs to be BC = 30 feet long.
Side note: For any special 30-60-90 right triangle, the hypotenuse is always twice as long compared to the shorter leg.

An employer wants to determine the amount of job satisfaction experienced by his employees. Which sampling
method is most likely to result in undercoverage?
Answers
Answer:
C: Employees are assigned to one of four pay scales. Randomly select a pay scale and survey every employee in that pay scale
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the given options, the one that will likely result in undercoverage will be option C. This is because even after assigning employees to any of the 4 payscales, when randomly selecting for survey, he picked only one pay scale and surveyed every on there. Since he didn't include at least one person in the other pay scales, he will not have covered every pay scale which he will need to make a conclusion on job satisfaction experienced by his employees.

From a bag containing 6 white balls, 3 black balls and 13 red balls, two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that they are both red without replacement?
a) 26/77
b) 9/10
c) 1/2
d)5/77
Answers
Answer:
Probability [Both ball red without replacement] = 26 / 77
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of white ball in beg = 6 balls
Number of black ball in beg = 3 balls
Number of red ball in beg = 13 balls
Find:
Probability [Both ball red without replacement]
Computation:
Probability of first red ball = Number of red ball in beg / [Total balls in beg]
Probability of first red ball = 13 / [6 + 3 + 13]
Probability of first red ball = 13 / 22
Probability of Second red ball = Number of remaining red ball in beg / [Total balls in beg without replacement]
Probability of Second red ball = [13 - 1] / [6 + 3 + 12]
Probability of Second red ball = 12 / 21
Probability [Both ball red without replacement] = [Probability of first red ball][Probability of Second red ball]
Probability [Both ball red without replacement] = [13/22][12/21]
Probability [Both ball red without replacement] = 26 / 77
Vector V has components of (6,9) determine the angle in degrees that vector vee makes with the X axis
Answers
Given :
Vector V has components of (6,9).
To Find :
The angle in degrees that vector V makes with the x-axis.
Solution :
The x-component of vector is, x = 6 units.
The y-component of vector is, y = 9 units.
So, the angle the vector makes from the horizon is :
[tex]\theta = tan^{-1}{\dfrac{y}{x}}\\\\\theta = tan^{-1}{\dfrac{9}{6}}\\\\\theta = 56.31^o[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.

Based on the figure below, find the value of x.
Answers
Answer:
The value of x = 9.Step-by-step explanation:
The figure shown is represented as a right triangle, which means that the sum of the angles within should add up to 90°. So if we take 32° (one of the angles given) and subtract it from 90°, we should be left with 58°.
This means that the value of the equation that contains "x" must equal 58°. Therefore, (6 x 9 + 4)° must equal 58.° Which means that the value of x = 9.

Find the length of Arc YWV, if line XZ=12 meters. (Round to the nearest hundredth)
Answers
Answer:
53.62 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr
r = XZ = 12 m
m<XYZ = 180 - 108 = 72° (angles on a straight line)
θ = 85° + 72° + 108° = 265°
Length of arc YWV = 256/360 × 2 × π × 12
= 53.6165146 ≈ 53.62 m (nearest hundredth)

Give an example of tangents in the real world that have not been presented in this lesson.

Answers
Answer:
Hey! Sorry im too late lol but here-
Step-by-step explanation:
Example of tangent in the real world-
When a stone gets tied at one end of a string & the other end is rotated, then the stone will form a circle.
How you know the tangent and radius are perpendicular:
The radius is formed vertically and is completely straight, while the tangent is completely straight but horizontal. You can draw a right triangle angle between the radius and tangent line by adding a third line, and a right angle is 90 degrees. So, this forms a perpendicular line.
Hope this helped :))
Part A: The path of the ball in relation to the curved path of the thrower
Part A: The path the ball takes is perpendicular to the hand, bat or feet at the point of last contact
Reason for the selection:
Part A
A real world example of tangents is the direction of a ball immediately it is released and the circular path of the motion, that provides the force input that is given to the ball to cause it to move in the required direction
The tangent is the path the ball takes immediately it is moving without contact to the bat, hand or feet that causes it to move
The circular path is the motion of the hand, leg, bat or feet that makes before the ball is released
The radius is the hand, leg, or bat that rotates in a circular path, so as to move the ball
Part B
How the radius is perpendicular to the tangent
The radius, such as the leg kicking a ball is perpendicular to the tangent of the which is the path of the ball because a kick to send the ball into air, the orientation of leg at the point the ball leaves is perpendicular to the angle of elevation with which the ball is launched

B. 68°
Step-by-step explanation:
The interior angles of the right triangle from the figure given are:
<1, right angle (90°), and (180° - 158°)
m<1 + 90° + (180° - 158°) = 180° (sum of triangle)
m<1 + 90° + 22° = 180°
m<1 + 112° = 180°
m<1 + 112° - 112° = 180° - 112°
