I believe the answer is A. I'm not too sure though. How did I come to this conclusion? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Answer:
144 lol
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder resting against the house forms a triangle similar to the one in the image below
To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = x
b = 4
c = 20
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

solve for x
+ 16 = 400
= 384
x = 8√6
or
x ≈ 19.5959....
Hope this helped!

Answer:
(-2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is the point at which the two lines intersect, (-2,4). That point is the only one that satisfies (works) in both equations:
y = x + 6
4 = -2 + 6
and
y = -0.5x + 3
4 = -0.5(-2) + 3
4 = 1 + 3
====
You can also solve it algebraically:
y = x + 6
y = -0.5x + 3
-0.5x + 3 = x + 6 [Use the value of y from the second equation in the first equation]
-1.5x = 3
x = -2
Use this is y = -2 + 6:
y = 4
(-2,4)
