Answer:

The ladder will reach 5.6 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tree, the ground and Kali's ladder form a triangle whose hypotenuse h is the ladder, base b the ground, and perpendicular p the tree. Thus from Pythagorean theorem:

p^2+b^2=h^2

Since b=2 and h=6

p=\sqrt{h^2-b^2} =\sqrt{6^2-2^2}=\boxed{5.6\:meters.}

Thus the ladder will reach 5.6 meters high.

How do you substitute x+y=2 3x+2y=5
Monica [59]
Here's how you solve this.  So, x+y=2, right?  Let's isolate x.  x+y-y=2-y.  x=2-y.  NOW, if x=2-y, in 3x+2y=5, we can REPLACE x with 2-y and use it to solve for y!  3x+2y=5.  3(2-y)+2y=5.  (3*2)+(3*-y)+2y=5.  6+(-3y)+2y=5.  6+(-y)=5.  6+(-y)-6=5-6.  -y=-1.  -y/-1=-1/-1.  y=1.

So, if y=1, we can substitute that back into either equation--but let's go with the easier one, x+y=2.  x+1=2.  x+1-1=2-1.  x=1.  1+1=2, so that works; let's check the other equation.  3(1)+2(1)=5.  3+2=5.  5=5.  That's correct!

Answer: x=1, y=1

What is the relationship between partitions and number series
vovangra [49]
A sum of positive natural numbers adding up to n is called a partition of n. For instance, 1+2+4 is a partition of 7. As none of the summands 1, 2, 4 are equal, this is called a partition into unequal parts. Does this help? Because this is all I know :(
