The angle of elevation of a ladder leaning against a wall is 70°. The base of the
ladder is 1.4 meters from the base of the wall. Find the length of the ladder to the
nearest tenth of a meter. *

Refer to the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the angle where the ladder touches the wall at the top is a 70 degree angle, which must mean that the ladder touching the floor would be a 20 degree angle. This would be OPPOSITE / ADJACENT or TANGENT (TAN).

The TAN(20) = 2.2, when 2.2 is multiplied by the height of the ladder (1.4), you get 3.08 but rounding to the nearest tenth of a meter gives you 3.1m as the length of the ladder.

3.1m

option 3 . (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

step-by-step explanation:

option 1 :

(4x + 3) + (-9x + 4)

or 4x+3 -9x + 4

or -5x + 7

option 2

(x - 2) - (6x - 9)

or x-2-6x + 9

or -5x + 7

option 3

(5x+ + 6)

or 5x + 1 + 10x -6

or 15x -5

option 4

-4x+2x+7-3x

-7x + 2x + 7

-5x + 7

hence only option 3 did   not satisfy the given simplify expression.
