The height of the wall from the question is 13.27ft

<h3 /><h3>Pythagoras theorem </h3>

The theorem states that the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of square of other two sides.

From the given question

Hypotenuse (ladder length) = 15ft

Adjacent = 7feet

Required

Height of the wall H

According to the theorem

15² = 7² + H²

H² = 225 - 49

H² = 176

H = 13.27feet

Hence the height of the wall from the question is 13.27ft

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the surface area:

Bottom base: 57 × 27 = 1,539

Top base: 21 × 27 = 567

Rectangular face: 23 × 27 = 621

Rectangular face: 23 × 27 = 621

Trapezoidal face: (21 + 57) ÷ 2 × 15 = 585

Trapezoidal face: (21 + 57) ÷ 2 × 15 = 585

1,539 + 567 + 621 + 621 + 585 + 585 = 4,518

The surface area is 4,518 square inches

Describe the distribution of the data with regard to the shape, outliers, center, and spread.
Pepsi [2]
Create a frequency chart by using a bar graph as shown in the picture below. A frequency chart is used when you want to present how much of the data belongs to one group. For this problem, it specifically represents how many people belong to a time interval. The y-axis is the number of people and the x-axis is the time expressed in intervals.

As you can see visually, the shape of the distribution graph is skewed to the right, although not uniformly. This is justified because the relatively high data are situated on the far right side of the graph. Also, there are no outliers in the data because they are all pretty close to each other. No bar is obviously different from the others. The center is the median of all the data. If you create a middle line as represented by the horizontal line, the center data point is 21. You can verify this by arranging all the data points from smallest to largest, and selecting the middle data. Lastly, the spread is from the lowest value to the highest value. The lowest value is at 12 to 1 pm with 19 people. The highest value is at 4 to 5 pm with 24 people. Therefore, the spread is from 19 to 24.

Please explain step by step
Alja [10]

Let's find the value of x

Since the sum of internal angles of a triangle is 180°

therefore,

\hookrightarrow \: (2x - 2) \degree + (x + 5) \degree + 90 \degree = 180 \degree

\hookrightarrow \: 2x - 2 \degree + x + 5\degree  = 180\degree - 90\degree

\hookrightarrow \: 3x + 3\degree = 90\degree

\hookrightarrow \: 3(x + 1) = 3(30)

\hookrightarrow \: x + 1\degree = 30\degree

\hookrightarrow \: x = 29\degree
