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

at a track meet,Jacob and daniel compete in 220 m hurdles. Daniels finishes in 3/4 of the a min.Jacob finishes with 5/12 of a mi
Savatey [412]
Jacob has the faster time because if you make the fractions equal you would make the denominators equal by rounding 3/4 to have a denominator of 12 making it 9/12 which is larger then 5/12 making Daniel's time slower then Jacob's.

Anyone know the correct answer to this?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

It should be y=4x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

M is the slope meaning Δx over Δy or rise over run

So if you look at (2,2) and count up to (3,6) the rise is 4 and the run is 1 meaning the slope is 4.

B is the y- intercept so then it would just be -7.
