The length of the shortest ladder that will reach from the ground over the fence to the wall of the building is 7.6 feet

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Pythagoras theorem is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. Hence:

Let l represent the length of the shortest ladder that will reach from the ground over the fence to the wall of the building.

l² = 3² + 7²

l = 7.6 feet

The length of the shortest ladder that will reach from the ground over the fence to the wall of the building is 7.6 feet

The answer to number 3
Reptile [31]

Answer:

  4.5×10^17 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is half the diameter, so we can make the substitution r=d/2 into the formula to get ...

  A = 4πr² = 4π(d/2)² = πd²

Filling in the given values and doing the arithmetic gives ...

  A = 3.14×(3.8×10^8 m)² = 45.3416×10^16 m²

  A ≈ 4.5×10^17 m²

__

We round to 2 significant digits because that is the precision of the given diameter.

josan and andrea are on a long distance bike ride. they decide they will stop for water if either of thier water bottles is less
nevsk [136]
If it is less than full it means it is anything below 5/5 or 6/6, so they both have less than full water bottles...

If you meant less than half full, Josan has 0.5/5 less than half, so yes, They should stop in this case as well.
