Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft Step-by-step explanation: Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ; We make reference to the diagram Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal; Thus; 20/15 = 28/x + 15 20(x + 15) = 15(28) 20x + 300 = 420 20x = 420-300 20x = 120 x = 120/20 x = 6 So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides Let the hypotenuse be marked x x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2 x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft

It appears that none of your option choices are correct,, are you sure you copied them right ? I will show you how to solve this and how I got my answer.
The first step for solving this is to add the numbers in the parenthesis.
3 × 11 × 2 - 14 ÷ 7
Divide -14 by 7.
3 × 11 × 2 - 2
Divide the first 3 numbers together.
66 - 2
Subtract the numbers together to get your final answer.
64
