Answer to Problem 25E

The diagram

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Fire Fighting: The longest truck-mounted ladder used by the Dallas Fire Department is 108 feet long and consists of four hydraulic sections. Gerald Travis, aerial expert for the department, indicates that the optimum operating angle of this ladder is 60 . The fire fighters find they need to reach the roof of an 84-foot burning building. Assume the ladder is mounted 8 feet above the ground.

Calculation:

Answer to Problem 25E

  43.9 feet

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Fire Fighting: The longest truck-mounted ladder used by the Dallas Fire Department is 108 feet long and consists of four hydraulic sections.

Assume the ladder is mounted 8 feet above the ground.

Calculation:

Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 5.4, Problem 25E , additional homework tip  2

The goal is to determine the distance BC = x :

We have

  tan60=ABBC=848x=76xx=76tan60x=43.9 feet

Thus, it should be 43.9 feet far.

(c)

To determine

To find: distance to which ladder be extended to reach the roof.

Answer to Problem 25E

  87.8 feet

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Fire Fighting: The longest truck-mounted ladder used by the Dallas Fire Department is 108 feet long and consists of four hydraulic sections.

Assume the ladder is mounted 8 feet above the ground.

Calculation:

Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 5.4, Problem 25E , additional homework tip  3

The goal is to determine the distance AC

We have

  sin60=ABAC=76ACAC=76sin60AC=87.8 feet

Thus, it should be extended to 87.8 feet to reach the roof.
