It should be 12 ft away from the wall. Not 4 ft. You do not just subtract the difference because as you pull it away from the wall, the ladder is mostly moving horizontally with only a small vertical change.

You can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer. Think of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the wall and the ground as the legs.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

16^2 + b^2 = 20^2

b^2 = 20^2 - 16^2

b^2 = 144

b = 12 ft

A company is replacing cables with fiber optic lines in rectangular casing BCDE. If segment DE = 3 cm and segment BE = 3.5 cm, w
Simora [160]

Answer: 3.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation: Given a rectangular casing BCDE with segment DE = 3 cm and segment BE = 3.5 cm.

The area A of a rectangle is length multiply by width.

Where length L = 3.5 cm and

width W = 3 cm

Area A = 3.5 × 3 = 10.5 cm^2

The pipe that will fit the fiber optic line is in cylindrical shape. Where area of a cylinder = πr^2.

But area A = 10.5. Substitute the values for the area of the cylinder

10.5 = πr^2

10.5 = 3.143 × r^2

Make r^2 the subject of formula

r^2 = 10.5/3.143

r = sqrt ( 3.34225 )

r = 1.828

Diameter = 2 × radius

Diameter = 2 × 1.829

Diameter = 3.656 cm

Therefore, the smallest diameter of pipe that will fit the fiber optic line is 3.66 cm approximately.

What does slope represent
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

ratio of the vertical change between two points, the rise, to the horizontal change between the same two points, the run.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points, the rise, to the horizontal change between the same two points, the run. The slope of a line is usually represented by the letter m. (x 1, y 1) represents the first point whereas (x 2, y 2) represents the second point.

Elbert used to make $22 an hour, but got a 10% raise. How much more will he make in 40 hours work week with the raise
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Elbert will Make $968 in 40 hours of work with the raise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Elbert makes $22 an hour.

He got 10% raise

Money raised on 10% = \frac{10}{100}\times 22=\$2.2

Now total money for per hour after raise  = \$22+\$2.2=\$24.2

Now to find the total money earned after 40 hours with raise we need to multiply total money for per hour after raise with number of hours.

Total money earned = \$24.2 \times 40 = \$968

Hence, Elbert will Make $968 in 40 hours of work with the raise.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

XYZ is NOT a good buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the market price of stock:

\frac{Next year's Dividend}{Reqd.return -  Growth rate}

= \frac{(2.4)(1.065)}{0.115-0.065}

= 51.12

The Market price of the stock is $51. Therefore, buying the stock at $60 is overpriced and is NOT a good buy.
