The distance between the bottom of the ladder be from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean theorem?</h3>

It states that in the right-angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

As we can see in the figure the length of the ladder is 20 ft and the base of the ladder is 10 ft from the base of the building.

By using the Pythagorean theorem we will calculate the distance between the tip of the ladder and the base of the building.

H² = 20² - 10²

H²= 400 - 300

H² = 300

H = √300

H = 17.32 ft.

Therefore the distance between the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the building will be 17.32 ft.

belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the school sold raffle tickets, and each ticket has a digit either 1, 2, or 3. The school also sold 2 tickets with the number 000.

Therefore we have the following raffle tickets:

123

132

213

231

312

321

000

000

From the given information, we can deduce that the school sold 8 tickets and only one ticket can contain the number arrangement of 123, but 000 appeared twice.

Probability of 123 to be picked=

1/8 => 0.125

Probability of 000 to be picked=

2/8 => 0.25

Since the probability of 000 to be picked is greater than 123, a ticket number of 000 is more likely to be picked

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

If the longer part of the box is to the right (or above) the median, the data is said to be skewed right. If the longer part is to the left (or below) the median, the data is skewed left.  The data is skewed right.  The median would be a better estimate, because one or two numbers on the high end will cause the  numbers to be skewed to the right, and the mean to be high
