Answer:

24 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of ladder=26 foot

Height of building=10 foot

We have to find the distance between the bottom of ladder and the bottom of building.

Pythagorus theorem:

(Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular\;side)^2

We have hypotenuse =AC=26 foot

Perpendicular side =AB=10 foot

Base=BC

Substitute the values in the given formula

(26)^2=(10)^2+(BC)^2

676=100+(BC)^2

(BC)^2=676-100=576

BC=\sqrt{576}=24 (Take positive because length is always positive)

BC=24 foot

Hence, the bottom of the ladder will be 24 foot  from the bottom of the building.

If a line passes thru the points (4,5) and (2,9) the slope of this line is
Allisa [31]

Answer:

m=-2

Explanation:

If a line passes through the points (4,5) and (2,9): to calculate the slope, use the formula below:

\text{Slope,m}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}

Substituting the points, we have:

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{9-5}{2-4} \\ =\frac{4}{-2} \\ =-2 \end{gathered}

The slope of this line is​ -2.

PEASE HELP ASAP!!! The sum of two numbers is 58.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

y=15

x=43

(any variable can be used, I used x and y to make it easier to show)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=58

x-y=28

get x by its self

x=58-y

then subsitute into the other equation

(58-y)-y=28

58-2y=28

-2y=-30

y=15

sub. again

x+15=58

x=43
