Slope=rise/run
the ladder rises 16 ft from the ground and runs 9 ft from the building. therefore...
-16/9=-1.7*repeating
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!
Solve using pythagoras theorem (it's given that is triangle is right angled. Pythagoras theorem only works in the case of right triangles) ⇨ Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude ²
Here,
Base = 9 mm
Hypotenuse = 15 mm
Altitude = b
Hypotenuse² = Base² + Altitude ²
15² = 9² + b²
225 = 81 + b²
225 - 81 = b²
144 = b²
√144 = b
<u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>mm </u>= b
Hope it helps ya!
For 5-3/12 the equivalent expression is 60/12-3/12 And then for 1-4/9 the equivalent expression 9/9-4/9
