Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let L be the length of the ladder,
Given,
x = the distance from the base of the ladder to the wall, and t be time.
y = distance from the base of the ladder to the wall,
So, by the Pythagoras theorem,

,
Differentiating with respect to time (t),




Here,

Also,
( Ladder length = constant ),




Which is the required notation.
Answer: 5.9 cm for both triangles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.
Replacing with the values given:
c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 9+25
c^2 = 34
c = √34
c = 5.9 cm
Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the elevation of driskill mountain Louisiana is 163 meters above sea level. The death Valley has an elevation of -86 meters.
We can represent this information in an inequality as:
. Our inequality means that the elevation of death valley is less than elevation of driskill mountain.

Answer:
- red division: 6 teams
- blue division: 5 teams
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let r and b represent the numbers of teams in the red and blue divisions, respectively. The total number of goals scored in each division will be the average for that division times the number of teams in that division.
r - b = 1 . . . . . . there is 1 more red team than blue
4.5r +4.2b = 48 . . . . . . total goals scored per week
__
Solving by substitution, we have ...
r = b +1
4.5(b +1) +4.2b = 48 . . . . substitute for r
8.7b +4.5 = 48 . . . . . . . . simplify
8.7b = 43.5 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4.5
b = 43.5/8.7 = 5 . . . . . divide by 8.7
r = b +1 = 6 . . . . . . . . . find r
There are 6 red teams and 5 blue teams.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The basic idea is that you make an equation for each relation given in the problem statement. For a problem like this, you do need to have an understanding of how the average number of goals would be calculated and how that relates to the total goals.
Yes to both, and for future help, if you find a common denominator(the bottom one) by multiplication and one is higher, boom you have your answer.
