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
4 divided by $4.60 gives you your unit rate
$1.15
Umm so I’m thinking -12,470, but in scientific notation it is -1.247 x 10^4
The answer is 7/69.
There are 8 black-haired children among 24 children. The probability of <span>randomly selecting black haired children for the first time is:
P1 = 8/24 = 1/3
Now, there are 7 black-haired children left among 23 children. The probability of </span>randomly selecting black haired children for the second time is:
P2 = 7/23
Since we want both of these events to occur together, we will multiply their probabilities:
P = P1 * P2 = 1/3 * 7/23 = 7/69
