So basically the ladder is creating a right triangle with the ground and the wall. Ladder is the hypotenuse (h), building = b, ground = g
b = h - 22 ft
g = 1010 ft
use Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of h:
{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  + {b}^{2}  \\  {h}^{2}  =  {(h - 22)}^{2}  + {1010}^{2}  \\ {h}^{2}  =  {h}^{2} - 44h + 484 + 1020100
The h^2 terms cancel out to = 0
0 = - 44h + 484 + 1020100 \\ 44h = 1020584 \\ 44h \div 44 = 1020584 \div 44 \\ h = 23195.1 \: feet

Lily has two times as much money invested in 8% stocks as she has in bonds paying 6%. How much she has invested in stocks if her
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Final answer is $4440.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount of money invested in 8% stock = x

Let amount of money invested in 6% stock = y

then total money invested $325.6 gives equation

8% of x + 6% of y = 325.6

0.08x + 0.06y = 325.6

8x + 6y = 32560...(i)

other equation will be x=2y...(ii)

plug (ii) into (i)

8x + 6y = 32560

8(2y) + 6y = 32560

16y+ 6y = 32560

22y = 32560

y=\frac{32560}{22}

y=1480

plug y=1480 into (ii)

x=2y=2(1480)=2960

Then total money invested in stocks = x+y= 1480+2960=4440

Hence final answer is $4440.
