Therefore, the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed, where the legs are 12 ft and 9 ft. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the length of the ladder as

$\begin{gathered} Ladder=\sqrt{12^2+9^2} \\ Ladder=\sqrt{144+81} \\ Ladder=\sqrt{225} \\ Ladder=15 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the length of the ladder is 15 ft

postnew [5]

Answer:

15.75

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know 5% is 1/20 out of 100 (20x5=100) so then we need to set up the equation to find how much 5% of 15 is. Which is .75 cents. So we then add the 75 cents to the already $15 shipping fee to get an answer of 15 dollars and seventy five cents.

Explanation:

A yard is a larger unit of measure than an inch, so it takes fewer yards to equal the distance of a larger number of inches.
