So leangh of ladder=2x+1
bottom edgre=x-1
wall edge=2x
so therefor, since this is a right triangle, use pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonues=longest side
b and a=sides touching the right angle
so x-1 and 2x are a and b
2x+1=c
subsitute
(x-1)^2+(2x)^2=(2x+1)^2
x^2-2x+1+4x^2=4x^2+4x+1
add like terms
5x^2-2x+1=4x^2+4x+1
subtract 1 from both sdies
5x^2-2x=4x^2+4x
subtract 4x from both sdies
5x^2-6x=4x^2
subtract 4x^2 from both sides
x^2-6x =0
factor out the x using distributive property which is
ab+ac=a(b+c)
x^2-6x=x(x-6)
(x)(x-6)=0
if xy=0 then assume x and/or y=0
x=0
we remember that one of the side legnths is 2x and if x=0 then the side legnth=0 which is not possible, so we discard
x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
x=6
subsitute and solve
legnth of ladder=2x+1
x=6 subsitute
2(6)+1=12+1=13
legnth of ladder =13 feet
height=2x
2(6)=12
height=12 feet
base=x-1
6-1=5
legnth of ladder=13 feet
height=12 feet
base=5 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
thats your problem learn how to pay attention lol
Area = [(a)(pi•r^2)]/360
1. set up a proportion
a/360 (# of ° in circle) = area of circle/ (pi•r^2)
2. cross multiply
360area of circle = (a•pi•r^2)
3. divide
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3(2x + -1) = 21
Reorder the terms:
3(-1 + 2x) = 21
(-1 * 3 + 2x * 3) = 21
(-3 + 6x) = 21
Solving
-3 + 6x = 21
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 6x = 21 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 6x = 21 + 3
6x = 21 + 3
Combine like terms: 21 + 3 = 24
6x = 24
Divide each side by '6'.
x = 4
Simplifying
x = 4
the correlation between the days and weight is that when the number of days goes up, the weight goes up too.
The puppy gained about 2.5 pounds during this time.
