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.

Mila [183]
First you do 7.9/ 1/4, that gets you 1.975. that is how much blue paint there is. Then you do 7.9-1.975= 5.925, which is how much white paint she used. So in total she used 1.975 pints of blue paint, and 5.925 pints of white paint.

poizon [28]

Answer:

I CAN!

Step-by-step explanation:

First, where does the line start?

y=1

It looks like it goes up, and then right each one unit. No?

So that would be

Y=1+1

Warning! DO NOT say y=2.  That is no good. You probably want to simplify it, but dont. Okay?

Scientists found the wreck of the titanic 3797 m below sea level. How many km below sea level is the wreck?
WINSTONCH [101]

We are given that the titanic is found 3,797 m below sea level. This is simply equivalent to 3.797 km or 3.8 km when rounded off to one decimal.

We should take note that the letter k in km means kilo and a kilo is equivalent to 1000. So this means that for 1 km there is exactly 1000 m. So to convert, simply multiply a value with unit m with this conversion factor. Conversion factor = 1 km / 1000 m

Depth of titanic = 3,797 m (1 km / 1000 m)

Depth of titanic = 3.797 km = 3.8 km

Answer:

For covering  1 unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to volume of 3 buckets of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

\frac{1}{3} volume of sand in bucket is able to cover \frac{1}{9} area of the entire playground

Thus,

For covering  \frac{1}{9} unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to  \frac{1}{3}  of the total volume of sand in bucket

For covering  1 unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to

\frac{\frac{1}{3} }{\frac{1}{9} } \\\\\frac{1}{3}  * \frac{9}{1} \\\frac{9}{3}\\= 3

For covering  1 unit area of the entire playground, the amount of sand required is equal to volume of 3 buckets of sand.
