Suppose the foot of a 12-foot ladder was placed 4 feet from a building how high up on the building would the top of the ladder r

NikAS [45]

Use the pythagorean theorem.

The foot of the ladder is 4 feet away from the building (leg 1)

The height of the building is leg 2

The ladder, which would be at an angle, is 12 feet. So our hypotenuse would be 12. The equation for this would be a²+4²=12²

We can then begin to solve

a² + 16 = 144

a² = 128

a=11.31

So, our answer is: The top of the ladder reaches the building at 11.31 feet up

How can I simplify this expression

kodGreya [7K]

Usually, "simplify" means to remove any common factors and express the sum as a single fraction, often in multiplie-out form.

If you factor what you've got, you will write it as
$\dfrac{(m+2)(m-2)}{(m+1)}+\dfrac{(m+2)}{(m+1)^2}=\dfrac{m+2}{m+1}\cdot\left((m-2)+\dfrac{1}{m+1}\right)\\\\=\dfrac{m+2}{m+1}\cdot\dfrac{(m-2)(m+1)+1}{m+1}\\\\=\dfrac{(m+2)(m^2-m-1)}{(m+1)^2}\\\\=\dfrac{m^3+m^2-3m-2}{m^2+2m+1}$
