The highest possible number of inhabitants in that little town are 743.

<h3>What are inhabitant?</h3>

A person or animal that lives in a place is called as the inhabitant.

Suppose there is this little town with a finite number of people: (1) No two inhabitants have exactly the same number of hairs. (2) No inhabitant has exactly 743 hairs or no hairs at all. (3) There are more inhabitants than there are hairs on the head of any inhabitant.

Let say there are 519 people in the town. and make them stand in a line with increasing number of hairs on their heads. This way, there will be a person on the last, who has no hair.

There are more number of people than the hairs. From bald to 742 hairs, 743 is the limit.

Thus, the highest possible number of inhabitants in that little town are 743.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

the tree is 8.8 m tall

I can't draw it but it will be two similar acute triangles. The one that represents the man will have a 2m height and a 5m base. The one that represents the tree will have an 8.8m height and a 22 m base.

Step-by-step explanation:

it's a proportional relationship

5/22=2/height

5(height)=2(22)

5(height)=44

divide both sides by 5

5(height)/5=44/5

height=8.8 m

A 13-foot long ladder leans against the wall. the foot of the ladder is at a distance of 5 feet from the base of the wall.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The distance, in feet, from the ground to the ladder is 12 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we must use the Pythagorean Theorem- a^2+b^2=c^2. C is the hypotenuse, and a and b are legs.

We have: 5^2+b^2=13^2

Simplifying: 25+b^2=169

Subtracting 25 from both sides: b^2=144

B=12.
