According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right-angled triangle equals to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, which equals to the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the tree + the distance we want to find (x):
5² + x² = 13²
25 + x² = 169
x² = 144
x = √144 = 12.
The distance between the ground and the top of the ladder is 12 ft.

I need help with 7-14
aliina [53]
7: $200<3x-y(28) where x represents each kids money out of it and y represents the parents pay.
8: 7.00>(is greater then or equal to) 0.75X + 1.29Y where X is the amount of bagels and Y is the amount of cream cheese containers.
9: $25 + $75>4X where X is the shirts
10: 720-120>(greater then or equal to) 32X where X is the number of people in each row
11: 2400= 2100+ X(1/20) where X is the value of all things sold.
12: 2000<(X7)-668 where X is the amount of cans in one day.
13: 100> 7X - 10Y where X equals the amount of months and Y equals the amount of CD's
14: $80 - $22> (greater than or equal to) 17X where x equals the amount of shirts.

first off sorry it took so long to answer, these long word questions are time consuming and i havent done them in a while so i had to refresh my memory, secondly the equations all end where i say the word "where", thirdly i am absolutely sure of all these answers except for the first one, the first one i am pretty sure i still got it but not 100%.

hope this helps.

Use the picture below:<br> Determine the value of x for which a || b.
kaheart [24]

Answer:

X = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear line equals 180

180-65=115

115 and x+72 have the same angle measure

115=x+72

Subtract 72 from both sides.

43=x
