Answer:
it is a simultaneous equation.
the -9d can be cancelled to find the answer
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The last one is absurd. You can't have a ladder reaching higher than itself. The question is a Pythagorean problem.
Givens
a = 3
b = ?
c = 25 feet
Formula
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Solution
3^2 + b^2 = 25^2
9 + b^2 = 625 Subtract 9 from both sides.
b^2 = 625 - 9
b^2 = 616 Take the square root of both sides.
b = sqrt(616)
b = 24.8
