It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2
b^2 = 144
b = 12 ft
Answer: area mean multiply
Step-by-step explanation:
For the entirety of this problem, p will represent a pair of pants and b will represent a bracelet.
Step 1) Set up equations for Destiny and Guadalupe
Destiny: 178 = 2p + 6b
Guadalupe: 155 = 3p + 2b
I will be using substitution to solve this problem, but elimination can also be used.
Step 2) Solve Destiny's equation for p
178 = 2p + 6b
178 - 6b = 2p
89 - 3b = p
Step 3) Substitute the found value of p from Destiny's equation into Guadalupe's equation and solve for b
155 = 3(89 - 3b) + 2b
155 = 267 - 9b + 2b
155 = 267 - 7b
-7b = -112
b = 16
Step 4) Use the value of b found in step 3, plug that back into our equation from step 2 and solve for p
89 - 3(16) = p
89 - 48 = p
p = 41
one pair of pants = $16
one bracelet = $41
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer: She is 42 Years Old.
Step-by-step explanation: If She is 3 times her age, you have to multiply. and That means you have to do 14 x 3. and that equals 42. Good Luck on Your Test!
