A ladder rests against a wall the top of the ladder reaches 15 feet up the wall and makes an angle of 53 with the wall how long is the ladder?

If the wall is straight and the ground level then this is an outline of a right angle-triangle. If the top of the ladder makes an angle of 530 with the wall then the bottom of the ladder must make 370 to the ground. Use the sine ratio to find the length of the ladder (which will be the hypotenuse) sin = opp/hyp rearranged to hyp = opp/sin hyp = 15/sin370 = 24.92460212 feet So the length of the ladder is 25 feet correct to the nearest foot.

A ladder long rests against a vertical wall If the top of the ladder slides down at a rate of how fast is the bottom of the ladder sliding away when the bottom of the ladder is away from the wall?

If h is vertical height, b=horizontal distance from wall to bottom of ladder and l=lenght of ladder,we can say lsquared = hsquared + b squared. Now differentiate w.r.t. time t. 2l*dl/dt= 2h* dh/dt + 2b*db/dt =0 However this solution doesn't give exactly the same answer when one solves the problem geometrically or using simple pythagorus. For example ,if l=20m and b=12 m and h=16m and db/dt is 2m/s, I calculate dh/dt as !.5 m/s using calculus but 1.717 m/s using geometry or straight Pythagorus. Where is the fallasy inthe method using calculus? Ray Bevan

How do you mount a pedestal sink?

The sink sits on the pedestal and there is a hole or slot on the bottom edge that rests against the wall. A large screw or lag screw is put through these holes and into the wall. There should be a 2x6 or wider board in the wall for this purpose in the original construction.
