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

ASAP HELP:The number of chapters read, y, after x days. The 5 slope of the line is and the y-intercept is 2. slope means... y-in
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of chapters read = y

Number of days spent to read = x

Slope of the line = \frac{5}{4} ≈ 1.25

y-intercept = 2

Slope means "number of pages read per day"

For slope = 1.25 means "1.25 pages read per day"

y-intercept means "Number of pages read initially"

y-intercept = 2 means "2 pages have been already read"
