3 triangles.
If you take 3 toothpicks you create the first triangle. You put the last toothpick down the middle, you get 2 more
Answer:
10 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the distance to be reached is 8 feet above ground and she she placed a ladder so that it reached the bottom of the window, the base of the ladder was 6 feet from the house, the length of the ladder considered with the other lengths forms a right angled triangle.
The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse side hence using pythagoras theorem
F^2 = 8^2 + 6^2
where F is the length of the ladder in feet
F^2 = 64 + 36
= 100
find the root of both sides
F = 10 feet
The ladder is 10 feet long
The answer i would believe is to be true.
Given:
Tom's earnings: x
Jan's earnings: 2x - 150
Total earnings: 1380
x + 2x - 150 = 1380
3x = 1380 + 150
3x = 1530
3x/3 = 1530/3
x = 510
Tom's earnings: x = 510
Jan's earnings: 2x - 150 = 2(510) - 150 = 1,020 - 150 = 870
total earnings: 1,380
510 + 870 = 1,380
1,380 = 1,380
