Determine the dependent variable in the statement: The harder Sam throws the baseball, the faster the baseball travels

1.How hard Sam throws the ball

2.Speed of the baseball

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed depends on how hard Sam throws the ball so the dependant variable would be the speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The height of the ladder = 15 m

When the ladder leans at point B from the ground level, then it makes an angle  of 52° with the horizontal

When the ladder leans at point A from the ground level, then it makes an angle  of 85° with the horizontal

To find:

The distance between point A and point B is?

Solution:

To solve the above-given problem, we will use the following trigonometric ratio of a triangle:

Referring to the figure attached below, we will assume,

BD = AD = 15 m = height of the ladder

∠BDC = 52° = angle of elevation to the foot of the window

∠ADC = 85° = angle of elevation to the top of the window

Now,

In ΔBCD, we have

Opposite side = BC

Hypotenuse = BD = 15 m

θ = 52°

∴

and

In ΔACD, we have

Opposite side = AC

Hypotenuse = AD = 15 m

θ = 85°

∴

∴ The height of the window, AB = AC - BC = 14.94 m - 11.82 m = 3.12 m

Thus, the distance between point A and point B is 3.12 m.
