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.

The inequality 10.45b + 56.50 < 292.67 is used to find the number of boxes (b) that can be loaded on a truck without exceedin
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We solve the inequality by subtracting 56.50 from both sides of the equation,
                                10.45b + 56.50 - 56.50 < 292.67 - 56.50 
                                        10.45b < 236.17
Then, divide both sides of the inequality by 10.45
                                             b < 22.6
The solution suggests that the number of boxes than can be loaded on a truck without exceeding the weight limit of the truck should always be lesser than 22.6. Since we are talking about number of boxes, the maximum number of boxes that can be loaded should only be 22.
