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

From a pack of 9 cards numbered 1-9, three cards are drawn at random and laid on a table from left to right.
Andreas93 [3]
Answer: 1/6
Explanation: Since we need to draw three cards from a pack of 9 and the digits require an order, then our sample space becomes: 9P3.
Now, we don't care about picking an order when picking three cards to analyse, as there is only 1 way in arranging the three cards in descending order.

Thus, we get:

\frac{^{9}C_3}{^{9}P_3} = \frac{1}{6}
