Use the Pythagorean Theorem:
a² + b² = c²
4² + b² = 8.5²
16 + b² = 72.25
        b² = 56.25
        b = 7.5

 The ladder reaches a height of 7.5 ft on the wall

mihalych1998 [28]

Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

What is the value of x?<br> pls help im so confused
Makovka662 [10]

In the proportional theory,

28 units is the total measurement that includes 8 units.

So, 10 + 3x - 5 is the total measurement that includes 10 units proportionally.

This means,

28 = 10 + 3x - 5

Now solve for x,

28 = 10 + 3x - 5

28 - 10 = 3x - 5

18 + 5 = 3x

23 = 3x

23 / 3 = x

So x = 23/3 or 7.6666....

Solve for x using the given diagram
blagie [28]

Answer:

<h2>x = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look a t the picture.

The triangles on the picture are similar.

Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{8x}{10}=\dfrac{4}{5x}              <em>cross multiply</em>

(8x)(5x)=(4)(10)

40x^2=40           <em>divide both sides by 40</em>

x^2=1\to x=\sqrt1\\\\x=1
