Suppose a ladder 50 feet long is placed in a street so that it reaches the roof of a building that is 48 feet tall. Without moving it at the bottom, it will reach the roof of a building 40 feet tall on the other side of the street. How wide is the street?

step-by-step explanation:

60

step-by-step explanation:

every triangle measures a total of 120 degrees. you have to find angle c. we know that isosceles triangles angles are equal. 60 degrees plus 60 degrees gives you 120.

hello! just here for points! though i wish i knew!

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
