We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse
x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x
x^2+36=100 Square each individual term
x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides
x^2=64 Combine like terms
sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides
x = 8 Simplify the square root
So our answer is x = 8
The ladder touches the 8 feet mark on the wall.
Answer:
The length of the other leg is 
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that the triangle is a right triangle
In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular
so
The area of a right triangle is equal to
where
a and b are the legs of the triangle
In this problem we have
substitute the values
In this case, the vector is passing through a right angle as shown with the little square on the left side. (all right angles equal 90 degrees) so you would simply subtract 64 from 90. (90 - 64 = 26) so x equals 26 degrees.
D/H = 0.25
18/H = 0.25/1
Cross multiply and solve for H
4%of 500 = 20
500 plus or minus 20 gives range as (480,520)
