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.

Marathon runner covered the whole distance in 4 hours running at a constant speed of 8.1 km per hour. How long would it take him
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: it will take him 4.5 hours to cover same distance

Step-by-step explanation:

Marathon runner covered the whole distance in 4 hours running at a constant speed of 8.1 km per hour.

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed×time

Therefore, distance covered by the marathon runner in in 4 hours, running at a speed of 8.1 km per hour is

8.1 × 4 = 32.4 kilometers

if he decreased the speed to 7.2 km per hour, the distance remains 32.4 kilometers. Therefore,

At 7.2 km per hour, the time it would take him to cover the same distance would be

Distance/ speed = 32.4/7.2 = 4.5 hours

PLEASE HELP! Find the distance between each pair of points. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
strojnjashka [21]
A.
Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\\\\  = \sqrt{\left( -4 - \left( -5 \right) \right)^2 + \left( -2 - \left( -3 \right) \right)^2} \\ \\  = \sqrt{ 1 + 1} \\ \\ = \sqrt{ 2 }

b. 
Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\\\\ = \sqrt{\left( -4 - \frac{ 7 }{ 2 } \right)^2 + \left( \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } - 1 \right)^2} \\  \\= \sqrt{ \frac{ 225 }{ 4 } + \frac{ 9 }{ 4 }} \\ \\=  3 \frac{\sqrt{ 26 }}{ 2 }
