Answer:

7/10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

her first assignment took 1/2 hour

her second assignment took 1/5 hour

so in total she took 1/2 + 1/5

we need to find a common denominator

the lcm(2,5)=10

so multiply 1/2 by 5/5 to obtain 5/10

multiply 1/5 by 2/2 to obtain 2/10

5/10 + 2/10 = 7/10

A building is 5 feet tall. the base of the ladder is 8 feet from the building. how tall must a ladder be to reach the top of the
iris [78.8K]

The ladder must be 9.4 ft to reach the top of the building

Here, we want to get the length of the ladder that will reach the top of the building

Firstly, we need a diagrammatic representation

We have this as;

As we can see, we have a right triangle with the hypotenuse being the length of the ladder

We simply will make use of Pythagoras' theorem which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus, we have;

\begin{gathered} x^2=5^2+8^2 \\ x^2=\text{ 25 + 64} \\ x^2\text{ = 89} \\ x=\text{ }\sqrt[]{89} \\ x\text{ = 9.4 ft} \end{gathered}

Can anyone tell me what x equals in this scenario.<br><br> 3/4x=2x-5
Dvinal [7]

Hey There!

The answer to your problem is x=4

<u>Subtract 2x from both sides</u>

<u></u>3/4x-2x=2x-5-2x<u></u>

<u></u>-5/4x=-5<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Multiply both sides by 4/(-5)</u>

<u></u>(4/-5)*(-5/4)x=(4/-5)*(-5)

vlada-n [284]

check the picture below.

so it has a base of 18x18 and a height of that much.

\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}Bh~~ \begin{cases} B=area~of\\ \qquad its~base\\ h=height\\ ------\\ B=\stackrel{18\times 18}{324}\\ h=12 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}(324)(12)\implies V=1296
