Answer:
4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry is that of a right triangle with hypotenuse 8.5 m and one side of length 7.5 m. If "b" represents the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall, the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...
b² + 7.5² = 8.5²
b² + 56.25 = 72.25
b² = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 56.25
b = 4 . . . . meters . . . (take the square root)
The base of the ladder is 4 m from the wall.

Answer:there are 900 beds in shelter B
Step-by-step explanation:
Shelter A has a capacity of 300 beds and is 80% occupied. This means that the number of beds in Shelter A that would be
80/100 × 300 = 0.8 × 300 = 240 beds.
Let x represent the capacity of Shelter B. Shelter B is 45% occupied. It means that number of beds in Shelter B that would be occupied is
45/100 × x = 0.45 × x = 0.45x beds.
Total occupancy of shelter A and shelter B would be
240 + 0.45x
The ratio of the occupancy of shelter A to shelter B is 16:27
Total ratio of occupancy = 16 + 27 = 43
Therefore
27/43 × (240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x
27(240 + 0.45x) = 0.45x × 43 = 19.35x
6480 + 12.15x = 19.35x
6480 = 19.35x - 12.15x = 7.2x
x = 6480/7.2 = 900
