By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48

The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

_____
7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.

Answer:

<em>The fraction of the beads that are red is</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Algebraic Expressions</u>

A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:

r:y = 2:3

y:b = 5:4

We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or

s = r + y + b

Thus, we need to calculate:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b} \qquad\qquad [1]$

Knowing that:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3} \qquad\qquad [2]$

$\displaystyle \frac{y}{b}=\frac{5}{4}$

Multiplying the equations above:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}\frac{y}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{5}{4}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6} \qquad\qquad [3]$

Dividing [1] by r:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+y/r+b/r}$

Substituting from [2] and [3]:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+3/2+6/5}$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{10+3*5+6*2}{10}}$

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{10+15+12}$

$\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{37}$

The fraction of the beads that are red is $\mathbf{\frac{10}{37}}$

vovangra [49]

The material costs 5.37 for 1 yard.

Multiply the cost of 1 yard by the number of yards bought:

5.37 per yard x 4.75 yards = $25.51 Total cost.

The answer would be D.
