A ladder is leaning against a wall. The top of the ladder is 9 feet above the ground. If the bottom of the ladder is moved 3 fee

t farther from the wall, the ladder will be lying flat on the ground, still touching the wall. How long, in feet, is the ladder?

So technically they are asking you to find the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle the height is 9ft and the length is 3ft so the formula is
A² +b²=c²

the a² and B² Being the height and length and label the third side c²

so..
9²+3²=c²
9×9+3×3=c²
81+9=c²
40=c²
√40=√c²
6.32=c
therefore the ladder is 6.32

well i think that is how you answer

Check the picture below

\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\
r^2=x^2+y^2\implies r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
\\\\\\
r=\sqrt{x^2+9^2}\implies r=\sqrt{x^2+81}\impliedby \textit{leaning ladder}
\\\\\\
r=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+0^2}\implies r=\sqrt{(x+3)^2}\impliedby \textit{flat ladder}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \sqrt{x^2+81}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2}\implies x^2+81=(x+3)^2
\\\\\\
x^2+81=x^2+6x+9\implies 81-9=6x\implies 72=6x\implies \cfrac{72}{6}=x
\\\\\\
\boxed{12=x}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{now, the ladder "r" is }\sqrt{(x+3)^2}\implies \sqrt{(12+3)^2}\implies 15

6) subtract 16 on both sides

then it should be x/4>18

then you would times 18 by 4 and get

How is 600:450 and 4:3 equalivent
romanna [79]

Answer:

when you simplify 600:450 to the smallest it can be, its 4:3. For proof, multiply 4:3 by 150. 4 times 150 is 600 and 3 times 150 is 450.
