Answer:

sqrt(601)/2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of the right triangle are 12 and 2.5. by the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of the ladder is sqrt(12^2 + 2.5^2) = sqrt(150.25). Simplified is sqrt(601)/2 ft.

The length of ladder used is 12.25 ft.

<h3>What is Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

Pythagorean theorem, the well-known geometric theorem that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square on the hypotenuse .

The Pythagoras theorem which is also referred to as the Pythagorean theorem explains the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle. According to the Pythagoras theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a triangle.

example:

The hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 16 units and one of the sides of the triangle is 8 units. Find the measure of the third side using the Pythagoras theorem formula.

Solution:

Given : Hypotenuse = 16 units

Let us consider the given side of a triangle as the perpendicular height = 8 units

On substituting the given dimensions to the Pythagoras theorem formula

Hypotenuse^2 = Base^2 + Height^2

16^2 = B^2 + 8^2

B^2 = 256 - 64

B = √192 = 13.856 units

Therefore, the measure of the third side of a triangle is 13.856 units.

given:

base=  2.5 ft,  

perpendicular= 12 ft

Using Pythagoras theorem,

H² =  B² + P²

H² = 2.5² + 12²

H² = 6.25+ 144

H= 12.25 ft

((2x^9)(y^n))((4x^2)(y^10))=(8x^11)(y^20)
tino4ka555 [31]

We are given

((2x^9)(y^n))((4x^2)(y^{10}))=(8x^{11})(y^{20})

Firstly, we simplify left side

Left side is

((2x^9)(y^n))((4x^2)(y^{10}))

we will make all x terms together

and y terms together

(2x^9)(4x^2)(y^n)(y^{10})

2\times 4(x^9)(x^2)(y^n)(y^{10})

8(x^9)(x^2)(y^n)(y^{10})

we can multiply left side by using exponent rule

a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}

8(x^{9+2})(y^{n+10})

8(x^{11})(y^{n+10})

now, we can set them equal

(8x^{11})(y^{n+10})=(8x^{11})(y^{20})

Since, both sides have x,y and 8

and both are equal

so, their exponent must be equal

so, exponent of y must also be equal

we get

n+10=20

What is the 32nd term of the arithmetic sequence where<br> a1 = 14 and a13 = -58?
liq [111]
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is found from:
n_{th}\ term=a+(n-1)d
Plugging in the given values, we get for the 13th term:
-58=14+12d
12d =-58 - 14 = -72
d = -6
So, the 32nd term is:
a_{32}=14+(32-1)-6=-172
