Answer:
From the bottom of the building to the top of the ladder, it is 16 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Depending on what grade you are in, you might know the Pythagorean theorem, whose equation is a^2+b^2=C^2 The measurement of the leaning ladder (20ft) is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is the leg length (12ft). With this information we know the "c" of the equation, and the "b" or "a" of the equation. If we plug in the number for the letter the equation will look like this:
12^2+b=20^2. 20 to the second power is 400, and 12 to the second power is 144. You can use the subtraction property of equality and get b^2=256. Use can use a calculator for this part. The square root of 256 is 16, which leaves the equation with b=16
Go up on the graph (y axis) and you need to go down 3 on the y axis and go to the right one and repeat. let me know if you want me to draw it out!

Step-by-step explanation:
8 3/4+n+2 3/8+ 23 1/8
8 3/4+n+ 25 4/8
35/4+ n+ 204/8
70/8 +n+ 204/8
274/8 +n
n= -274/8= -25 1/2
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Because this is a right triangle, one angle is a right angle (90°). All triangles have all three angle measures adding up to 180°, so the other two angles' measures add up to 90° (90 + 90 = 180).
Combine like terms of the angle measures.
6x + 9x = 15x
-3 + (-12) = -15
15x - 15
Because the sum of the measures of the two angles have to equal 90,
15x - 15 = 90
Add 15 from both sides.
15x = 105
Divide both sides by 15.
x = 7
To check, substitute 7 in both expressions.
6(7) - 3 = 39
9(7) - 12 = 51
39 + 51 + 90 (the measure of the right angle) = 180, so the value of x is 7.
I hope this helped :)
