3. A children's slide is 10 feet long and inclines 64° from the ground. The
ladder to the top is 9 feet long. How steep is the ladder (what angle does the ladder make with the ground)?

  87.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of sines can be used to solve this. We have two sides of a triangle and the angle opposite one of them. We want to find the angle opposite the other known side.

In the attached, the triangle is ΔACS. We have side "a" = 9, and side "c" = 10. Angle A is given as 64°. The law of sines tells us ...

  sin(C)/c = sin(A)/a

  sin(C) = (c/a)sin(A)

  C = arcsin((c/a)sin(A)) = arcsin(10/9·sin(64°)) ≈ 87.03°

The ladder makes an angle of about 87° with the ground.

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497

$452.90 because you needed to round to the nearest cent
