Answer:
11.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
I attached a diagram for you to easily visualize this problem.
To solve this problem, you would use the pythagorean theorem. The 12-ft ladder is the hypotenuse and the 3 ft from the barn is one of the side legs. You want to find the length of the "other side leg", or the height of the barn.
Substitute 3, 12, and x into the pythagorean theorem like so.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + x^2 = 12^2
Evaluate the exponents.
9 + x^2 = 144
Subtract 9 from both sides.
x^2 = 135
Square root both sides.
x = 11.618
Round this to the nearest tenth: 11.6 feet.
Answer:
Perimeter: 88m
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the square plot = (Side) X (Side)
And we are given the area is 484m²,
therefore, (Side) X (Side) = 484m²
or,
(Side)² = 484, taking square root on both the sides,
=
Side = 22m.
And we know that, perimeter of a square is = 4 X (Side)
Therefore, Perimeter = 4 X 22 = 88m

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2)
a) elimination method
b) substitution method
c) substitution method
For the first part we can elimate the y variable by subtracting the equations. We can then find the value of x.
For the second part we can substitute y as 2x+5 in the second equation and solve for x.
For the third part we can substitute y as 4x+3 in the first equation and solve for x.
