Aladder is leaning against a building that makes a 32 degree angle with the ground. the top of the ladder reaches 20 feet up on the building. what is the length of the ladder?

493 would be the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the value of b is 24 + 3t / (4- t ) = b

solution:

step 1 : find the slope using the formula below with the c (t, 3) and d(4, -3)

m = y2-y1 / x2 - x1

m = -3 -3 / 4-t

m = -6/4-t

to find the value of   b use the equation given in the question

note : use any of the pair given c or d in the equation to find the value of b i will be using d ( 4, -3)

y = mx+ b

3 = (-6/4-t)(4) + b don't forget to take the lcm

b = (36 - 3 t ) / ( 4 - t )
