Hello!

This makes a triangle

The cat is 20 ft high

The triangle is 20 feet high

The is 6 ft between the ladder and the tree

The base is 6 ft long

You use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this

a^{2} + b^{2} =c^{2}

a and b are the base and height

put in the values you know

6^{2} + 20^{2} = c^{2}

square the numbers

36 + 400 = c^{2}

Add

436 = c^{2}

Take the square root of 436

20.9 = c

Since this is lower than the length of the ladder the ladder is long enough

The answer is yes

Hope this helps!

Answer:

100C=m

Step-by-step explanation:

If 250 copies are made in 2.5 minutes, you get the equation:

250c=2.5m

divide by 2.5 on both sides and you get:

100c=m

So in m minutes, 100c copies are made.
