Sedbober [7]

Answer:

12 feet ladder

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of 12 ft ladder :

Using Pythagoras :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 57 = h / 12

1.5398649 * 12 = 18.48 feets

For 16 feet ladder :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 30 = h / 16

0.5773502 * 16 = 9.24 feets

18.48 > 9.24

Hence, he'll climb the 12 feets ladder to the higher height

john's dad gave him 8 3/4 pieces of wood. he used 4 2/3 pieces to make a bird house. his friend david then asked for 1 1/2 piece
Serjik [45]
Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:

you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4

then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.

so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left

A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pul
andre [41]
The pro<span>bability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy would be 5 over 8. Because there are 8 candies total (this is the denominator) and only 3 flavors, you just simply add the two given candies, which is 2 + 1 = 3, and subtract the sum (which is 3) by 8. Therefore, 8 - 3 = 5 and you put that as the numerator and the total number of candies, 8, as the denominator. </span>
