This is the concept of application of  geometry; the distance that the ladder should be placed will be given by Pythagorean theorem.
thus;
c^2=a^2+b^2
where, c=hypotenuse, a and b are the legs
hence;
15^2+12^2+b^2
b^2=15^2-12^2
b^2=225-144
b^2=81
getting the square root of both sides;
b=sqrt81
b=9
therefore the ladder should be placed 9 feet from the wall for it to reach 12 feet up the building

A restaurant has a total of 30 tables which are of two
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Total number of tables of first type       = 23.

Total number of tables of second type = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there are 30 tables in total and there are two types of tables.

Let's call the two seat tables, the first type as x and the second type as y.

∴                                             x + y = 30                        ......(1)

Also a total number of 81 people are seated. Therefore, 2x number of people would be seated on the the first type and 5y on the second type. Hence the equation becomes:

                                            2x + 5y = 81                        .....(2)

To solve (1) & (2) Multiply (1) by 2 and subtract, we get:

                                                      y = 7

Substituting y = 7 in (1), we get x = 23.

∴ The number of tables of first kind         = 23

  The number of tables of second kind   = 7

HELPP HELP. It’s about slope!!!! Explanation needed
OleMash [197]

Answer:

<em> x = -3</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A line has equation: y = ax + b

This line has slope a = 1

This line passes (4, 1)

=> 1 = 4 + b

=> b = -3

=> The equation of this line : y = x - 3

This line passes another point (x, -6)

=> -6 = x - 3

=> x = -6 + 3

=> x = -3

(40 POINTS) Line m is parallel to line n. The measure of angle 4 is (9a + 28)°. The measure of angle 6 is (10a)°. What is the me
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

B. 100

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple, the picture that is provided tells us the answer easily.

An angle lower than 90 degrees is called an acute angle. While one that is the same as 90 degrees is a right angle, and one that is more than 90 is obtuse.

We are asked to take a look at angle 4, we can see that is more than 90 degrees. Since 100 is the only answer with an amount higher than 90 degrees and fits the angle, it is the angle.
