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

2y-18x=-26 solve for y
Alekssandra [29.7K]
2y - 18x = -26

Add 18x to both sides.

2y = -26 + 18x

Divide by 2 on both sides.

y = -13 + 9x

y = 9x - 13
