Answer:The base of the ladder from the tree is 28ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagorean theorem

Let 100ft= hypothesis is the right angle triangle

Let 96ft be the height of the ladder

Let x be the base of the right angle triangle between the base of the ladder and the tree

h^2=a^2+b^2

100^2=96^2 +b^2

10,000=9216 +b^2

b^2=10,000-9216

b=sqrt(784)

b=28ft

Jet001 [13]

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.

<h3>Equation</h3>

Equation is an expression which is used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of hot dogs and y represent the boxes of popcorn.

Justin buys a total of 9 snacks. Hence:

  • x + y = 9   (1)

He buys popcorn 3 less than twice as many hot dogs. Hence:

  • y = 2x - 3
  • 2x - y = 3    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 4, y = 5

Justin buys 4 hot dogs ad 5 pop corn boxes at the baseball game.
