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)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 x - y < 6

dividing whole equation by 6 equation comes out to be

\frac{3x}{6}-\frac{y}{6}

\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{-6}

from the above equation we can clearly see that the x and y co-ordinate

x co-ordinate will be (2,0) where y coordinate will be(0,-6)

and the plot is given in the attachment given below.

where as the shaded portion gives the desired  region.
