Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever there are problems that have ladders leaning on a buildings, you have to know that is makes a right triangle.

3^2 + (x-1)^2 = x^2

(x-1)(x-1) = x^2 - 2x + 1


9 + x^2 -2x +1 = x^2

-x^2                    -x^2

---------------------------------        

-2x +10 = 0

-10           -10

---------------------

-2x=-10

-2x/2   -10/2

x=5 (the length of the ladder)

Tcecarenko [31]

For percentages, we divide the part by the whole. In this case, the part is the number of calories from fat and the whole is the total number of calories.

10 / 210 = 0.0476 = 4.76%

Then, we need to round to the nearest tenth.

The answer is 4.8%
