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:

1/10, 1/4, 2/5, 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the fractions into decimals.

2/5 = 0.4

2/3 ≈ 0.66666

1/4 = 0.25

1/10 = 0.1

Arrange from smallest to largest.

0.1, 0.25, 0.4, 0.6666

Change back to fraction form.

1/10, 1/4, 2/5, 2/3.

Figure ABCD is a parallelogram. If point C lies on the line y= -1, what is the x-value or point C?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.  4

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal.

From the figure we can see that,AB and CD are opposite sides.

Therefore AB = CD

<u>To find the length of AB</u>

From the figure we get, AB = 4 units

Therefore CD = 4 units

<u>To find the x coordinate of point C</u>

y coordinate is -1

x coordinate is 4 units from point D

x coordinate of D is 0, therefore x coordinate of C = 0 + 4 = 4

The correct answer is option D. 4

Does anyone understand atleast one of them
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Look in explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 76543^{-4} is the same as \frac{1}{76543^{4} } because since there is a negative exponent, you would want to flip the reciprocal and change the negative to positive.

The rest are very similar to this.
