Answer:
The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem
We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;
We make reference to the diagram
Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;
Thus;
20/15 = 28/x + 15
20(x + 15) = 15(28)
20x + 300 = 420
20x = 420-300
20x = 120
x = 120/20
x = 6
So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft
To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Let the hypotenuse be marked x
x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2
x^2 = 1,225
x = √1225
x = 35 ft
Answer:
angle y
58 + 38 + y = 180 (angle sum property)
96 + y = 180
y = 180 - 96
y = 84
angle x
x = 29 (58/2)
(angle subtended by an arc at centre is double the arc at any point on remaining part of centre)
the values of x = 29 and y = 84
Answer:i don't know
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up all the sides which should equal 32
1 meter is equal to 0.001 kilometers so if we multiply 962 by 0.001 we would get .962 kilometers...so with that said what would the relationship be?
