Mr. Johns gave a test last week and Ginny missed one question. She answered that 14.5 people would ride on each bus rather than 15. Her parents would like a conference because she did the math problem correctly and should receive credit even though her answer was not reasonable.

A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall so that it is 6 feet high at the top. The ladder is moved so that the base of the ladder t

Answer:

The top of the ladder is now at 10 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start, we have a height H=6, a length L=10 and a base B, that has to be calculated by the Pythagorean theorem:

$B^2=L^2-H^2=10^2-6^2=100-36=64\\\\B=\sqrt{64}=8$

The base is moved twice the distance the height moves up.

We called this distance x, so we have:

$L^2=(H+x)^2+(B-2x)^2=H^2+2Hx+x^2+B^2-4Bx+4x^2\\\\L^2=(H^2+B^2)+5x^2+(2H-4B)x\\\\L^2=L^2+5x^2+(2H-4B)x\\\\0=5x^2+(2H-4B)x\\\\5x+(2H-4B)=0\\\\x=\dfrac{4B-2H}{5}=\dfrac{4*8-2*6}{5}=\dfrac{32-12}{5}=\dfrac{20}{5}=4$
