Answer:
The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem
We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;
We make reference to the diagram
Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;
Thus;
20/15 = 28/x + 15
20(x + 15) = 15(28)
20x + 300 = 420
20x = 420-300
20x = 120
x = 120/20
x = 6
So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft
To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides
Let the hypotenuse be marked x
x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2
x^2 = 1,225
x = √1225
x = 35 ft
X = 5 (you can set it up as a regular equation)
9x + 1= 46
9x = 45 (subtracted 1 from both sides)
x = 5 (divided 45 by 9)

There are 360 degrees in a circle, and we have 18 pieces, so we need to see how many times 18 goes into 360. We can find this out by dividing.
360/18=20
You can check this by multiplying 20 and 18 (it equals 360)!
So, each fraction of the circle will be 20 degrees.
If you take 5 of these 20 degree pieces, you'll need to multiply them by 20 to see how many degrees they'd be.
You need to multiply by 20 because each piece is 20 degrees, and we need to find how many degrees 5 pieces is. It's the same as doing
20+20+20+20+20! :)
20*5=100. 5 parts will be 100 degrees.
Hope I helped! :)
Answer:
3/17
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 divided by 4 1/4 is = to 3/4 divided by 17/4= 3/4 times 4/17 = 3/17
