Answer: the length of the ladder should be 17.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder would form 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 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 length of the ladder h, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

h² = 16² + 8² = 256 + 64

h² = 320

h = √320 = 17.9 feet

If 9x83=747 then 747+9+83=?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

747+9+83=839

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use 9x83=747 as a extra help to get the answer. Say you need the answer above (which I gave you) so you get 9x83 as an example to help figure out 749+9+83=839.

Which operation could we perform in order to find the number of milliseconds in a year? 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 365 1000 * 60 * 60 *
Tom [10]
Use the following abbreviations:
y = year,
d = day,
h = hour,
min = minute,
s = second,
ms = millisecond.

Then
1 \, y = (1 \, y)*(365 \,  \frac{d}{y} )*(24 \,  \frac{h}{d} )*(60 \,  \frac{min}{h} )*(60 \,  \frac{s}{min} )*(1000 \,  \frac{ms}{s} )

Therefore, the correct calculation is
1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365

Answer: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365

Ian and April wish to have 8,000 available for the wedding in six years how much money should be set aside now at 6% compounded
ira [324]

Answer:

\$5,586.42  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula is equal to  

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have  

t=6\ years\\ A=\$8,000\\ r=0.06\\n=12  

substitute in the formula above  

8,000=P(1+\frac{0.06}{12})^{12*6}  

8,000=P(1.005)^{72}  

P=8,000/(1.005)^{72}  

P=\$5,586.42
