Answer: the height that the ladder reaches is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder forms a right angle triangle with the building and the ground. The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height, h from the top of the ladder to the base of the building represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

The distance from the bottom of the ladder to the base of the building represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the height that the ladder reaches, h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

12² = 7² + h²

144 = 49 + h²

h² = 144 - 49

h² = 95

h = √95

h = 7.45 feet

Answer:

the ladder reaches up to 9.75 ft. high

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

plug in the numbers

a^2+49=144

then subtract 49 from 144

a^2=95

then sq 95

a=9.75

Marissa deposited $3,900 into a savings account. How much will Marissa have in her account after 7 years and 6 months at a yearl
REY [17]

Marissa wants to know how much she would make using the simple interest calculation.

She will have $4,432.35

Given data

Principal = $3,900

Time = 7 years 6 months = 7.5 years

Rate = 1.82%

I = A - P = $532.35

Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 1.82%/100 = 0.0182 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 3900(1 + (0.0182 × 7.5)) = 4432.35

A = $4,432.35

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $3,900.00 at a rate of 1.82% per year for 7.5 years is $4,432.35.

Help pls this geometry killing me??!!!
kondaur [170]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle AEC is a right triangle and 2 sides are already filled in.

The hypotenuse is 10 and one side is 6.

So, this is a 3-4-5 right triangle.

Thus, the remaining side EC is 8.

Since EC is congruent to ED, then segment CD is 8+8=16
