Answer:

It is 27.35 ft up the house

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 28  and the base is 6

We can use the pythagorean theorem to find how high it is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6^2 + b^2 = 28^2

36 + b^2 = 784

Subtract 36 from each side

36-36 + b^2 = 784-36

b^2 = 748

Take the square root of each side

b =sqrt(748)

b =27.34958866

It is 27.35 ft up the house

Py+7=6y+q<br> what is the answer for this question (linear equations with unknown coefficients)?
Temka [501]
Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)
