Answer:

  11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² + 10² = 15²

  d² = 225 -100 = 125

  d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet

The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building

Number of Gallons 2 4 x
Travka [436]

Answer:

The value of x is 8 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a table  showing approximate conversion from gallons to liters.

Number of Gallons    2      4      x

Number of Liters      7.6  15.2  30.4

We are required to find value of x,

Given : 2 gallon is equal to 7.6 liters.

⇒  1 liter is equal to \frac{2}{7.6}=0.263 liters. ........(1)

given, x gallon equal to 30.4 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to \frac{x}{30.4} liters.  .........(2)

from (1) and (2),

⇒  0.263=\frac{x}{30.4}

Solving for x, we get,

⇒  0.263 \times 30.4=x

⇒  7.9952=x

Approximately x = 8

Thus, the value of x is 8 gallon.
