Find a common denominator 7/8 = 35/40 and 5/10 = 20/40. Also 7/8 is almost a whole and 5/10 is half. 7/8 is greater.
The house wall, the ground and the ladder form a right triangle, where the ladder is the hypotenuse.
Ladder = sqrt (25^2+10^2) =5sqrt(29)
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - y^2 = 11
2x^2 + y^2 = 97
From the first equation:
y^2 = x^2 - 11
Substituting in the second equation:
2x^2 + x^2 - 11 = 97
3x^2 = 108
x^2 = 36
x = 6, -6.
Substituting for x in the first equation:
(6)^2 - y^2 = 11
y^2 = 36 - 11 = 25
y = 5, -5.
