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.

The revenue for a company producing widgets is given by y = -20x2 - 50x + 200, where x is the price in dollars for each widget.
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The  price is   x =  $2.779

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  revenue is  y = - 20x^2  - 50 x + 200

   The cost of production is  y = 30 x - 10

Generally at break even point the cost of production is equal to the  revenue

So

      -20x^2 -50x + 200 =  30x-10

=>   20x^2 +20 -210 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to solve this equation we have that

       x =  $2.779

Question:Find the area of he trapezoid by decomposing it into other shapes.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

D) 171 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

You don’t actually need to decompose it.  You could just do it as a trapezoid:

(15+23)/2=19

19x9=171

If you want to decompose it into 2 triangles and a rectangle:

10=15x9=135

1/2(3)(9)=13.5

1/2(5)(9)=22.5

135+13.5+22.5=171 also
