Answer:

a . See attachment

b. because we will find the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building.

c. sin 60 = opposite side / hypotenuse

d.sin 60 = x / 10

e . 8.66 ft =x

f. see attachment

i. cos 60° = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Explanation:

a . See attachment

b. because cos 60° = adjacent side / hypotenuse, the hypotenuse is equal to the length of the ladder (10), and the adjacent side that we will find is the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building. not the height that the ladder reaches .

c. sin 60 = opposite side / hypotenuse

Because we will find the opposite side which is the height that the ladder reaches.

d.sin 60 = x / 10

e .

0.866025403 = x/10

10 (0.866025403) =x

8.66 ft =x

f. see attachment

i. cos 60° = adjacent side / hypotenuse

Because we will find the adjacent side which is the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building.
