Answer:

7 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the distance between the library and police station x. Then, the distance between the police station and fire station would be 3 less than twice x. Twice means multiply by 2 so twice x is 2 * x = 2x and 3 less than means that you subtract 3 so 3 less than 2x is 2x - 3. Now, we know that x = 5 so all we have to do now is substitute x = 5 into 2x - 3, therefore, the answer is 2 * 5 - 3 = 7 miles.

Garrett is building a slide for his kids. If the ladder is 1 meter tall and he wants the bottom of the slide to be 4 meters from
TEA [102]

The slide needs to be 4.123 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Length for the ladder- 1 mtr

Distance of the bottom of the slide from the ladder- 4 mtr

Length of the slide needed

We can view the whole set up in the form of a right-angled triangle with the base representing the slide distance from the ladder, ladder length representing altitude and slide length representing as hypotenuse (As provided in the diagram)

For right-angled triangle we know from Pythagoras theorem-

Base² + altitude²= hypotenuse ²

Substituting the values of base as 4 mtr and altitude as 1 m

(Hypotenuse)²= 17

∴ Hypotenuse (slide length) =4.123 mtr

∴ Length of the slide needed= 4.123 meters
