<u>Answer:</u>

The height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given the height is 11 feet

Base = 7 + 2 = 9 feet

Consider the ladder to be the hypotenuse

Applying Pythagoras Theorem,  

H^2   = P^2 + B^2

Substituting the values in the above formula,

H^2  = 112 + 92

H^2  = 121 + 81

H^2 = 210

H = sqrt(210)

H = 14.491

Therefore, the height of the ladder is 14.491 feet

5. Marie buys 2 pounds of turkey and 1 pounds of ham. She pays a total of $20,
NARA [144]

Answer:Let t = cost per pound of turkey

Let h = cost per pound of ham

 

4t + 2h = 30

t = h - 1.5

 

substitute h-1.5 in place of t in 1st equation

 

4(h-1.5) + 2h = 30

4h - 6 + 2h = 30

6h - 6 = 30

6h = 36

h = 6

 

t = h-1.5 = 4.5

 

1 pound of turkey costs $4.50

1 pound of ham costs    $6.00

                                ----------

cost of 1 pound each  $10.50
