Answer:
The height of the lamp post is 15 feet ⇒ 1st answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder , the lamp post and the ground formed a right triangle, the length of the ladder is its hypotenuse (l), the height of the lamp post (h) and the horizontal distance on the ground between the base of the ladder and the base of the lamp post (d) are the legs of the triangle
By using Pythagoras Theorem ⇒ <em>the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs</em>
∵ l² = h² + d²
∵ The length of the ladder is 25 feet
∴ l = 25
∵ The ladder is placed 20 feet from the lamp post
- That means the distance between the base of the ladder and
the base of the lamp post on the ground
∴ d = 20
- Substitute the values of l and d in the Pythagoras formula
∵ (25)² = h² + (20)²
∴ 625 = h² + 400
- Subtract 400 from both sides
∴ 225 = h²
- Take √ for both sides
∴ 15 = h
∴ The height of the lamp post is 15 feet
Answer:
area of triangle = 4.5*6/2 = 13.5 sq.yd.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a right triangle is half of the product of the sides adjacent to the right angle.
Here the sides adjacent to the right angle are 6 yd and 4.5 yd.
Therefore the
area of triangle = 4.5*6/2 = 13.5 sq.yd.
According to the Scientific Method (the scientific process you use to go about figuring out the answer to a question) is:
1. Ask a Question
2. Do Background Research
3. Construct a Hypothesis
4. Test Your Hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
5. Analyze Your Data and Draw a Conclusion
6. Communicate Your Results
