We can see on this graph that the triangle has legs of x and 6 with a hypotenuse of 10 and we can use Pythagoreans theorem to find the unknown side.
Pythagoreans theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are the legs of the triangle and c, is the hypotenuse 

x^2+6^2=10^2 Plugin a=x, b=6, and c=10. Now let us solve for x 

x^2+36=100 Square each individual term 

x^2+=100+36 Subtract 36 from both sides 

x^2=64 Combine like terms 

sqrt(2)=sqrt(64) Take the square root of both sides 

x = 8 Simplify the square root 

So our answer is x = 8 
The ladder touches the 8 feet mark on the wall.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

25.133 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the density ρ = r, our mass is

m =  ∫∫∫r³sinθdΦdrdθ. We integrate from θ = 0 to π (since it is a hemisphere), Φ = 0 to 2π and r = 0 to 2  and  the maximum values of r = 2 in those directions. So

m =∫∫[∫r³sinθdΦ]drdθ      

m = ∫[∫2πr³sinθdθ]dr     ∫dФ = 2π

m = ∫2πr³∫sinθdθ]dr

m = 2π∫r³dr    ∫sinθdθ = 1

m = 2π × 4     ∫r³dr = 4

m = 8π units

m = 25.133 units
