First you start by drawing a right triangle. the longest side is the length of the ladder (40ft) and will be represented by variable c. Label the vertical side as a and the horizontal side as b(24 ft).

we will use a^2 +b^2 =c^2 to find it. plug in the variables and it will be a^2 + 24^2 = 40^2 which simplifies to a^2 + 576 = 1600. you then isolate the variable by subtracting 576 from 1600. our new equation is a^2 = 1024. we take the sqrt of a^2 and 1024 so our final equation is a=32 ft. the answer is 32 feet.

A rectangle is formed by placing two identical squares side by side
julsineya [31]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 2 squares next to eachother with the same area, then their perimeter is 6*sidelength.

60 = 6*sidelength

10 = sidelength

Square the sidelength to find the area of the square. 10^2 = 100

Multiply that by 2 to find the area of the rectangle. 100*2 =

200

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (7, 2) and (2, 12)
Anika [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (when x=0).

the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how much y changes, when x changes for a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

going from (7, 2) to (2, 12) :

x changes by -5 (from 7 to 2), y changes by +10 (from 2 to 12).

so, the slope is 10/-5 = -2

therefore, we have already

y = -2x + b

we get b by using the coordinates of one of the points as x and y. e.g. (7, 2)

2 = -2×7 + b = -14 + b

16 = b

so, the full line equation is

y = -2x + 16
