A 17 -ft ladder leans against a building so that the angle between the ground and the ladder is 79 .

3.24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A 17 -ft ladder leans against a building so that the angle between the ground and the ladder is 79 . Find the distance between the building and the ladder

We solve the above question using the Trigonometric function of Cosine

cos x = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Adjacent = x feet

Hypotenuse = 17 ft

The angle = 79°

Hence,

cos 79 = x/17

Cross Multiply

x = cos 79 × 17

x = 3.2437529214.feet

Approximately = 3.24 feet

Therefore, the distance between the ladder and the building = 3.24 feet

the correct answer is a) they believe they have a "just cause."

islamic terrorists justify their violent actions because they believe they have a "just cause."

every act of terrorism of islamic sects is done “in the name of allah”. that justifies their actions. islam people who commit those terrorist attacks are not afraid to die. that is why the attacks have horrible consequences. they know they are going to die and they are proud to do it because it is in the name of allah, so it is justified and is for a “good cause.”

since the very beginning of the conflict with israel, islam is fighting a “sacred war”, respecting the words stated in the qur’an. they fight against the domination of the western countries and to defend their occupied territories.

i think the answer is b x = 1, y = 35/2
