Pythagorean thoerem
we imagine the wall as a leg of a right triangle, the ladder is the hypotonuse and the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall is the other leg

so if we have a right triangle with leg length a and b and hypotnuse length c then
a²+b²=c²

so
given that one of the legs is 9ft (9 ft is the height of the triangle)
and the hypotnuse is 12 ft (length of ladder)
then say the last leg is x

so
x²+9²=12²
x²+81=144
mius 81 both sides
x²=63
sqrt both sides
x=√63
x=3√7

you should place it 3√7ft or about 7.9 or 8ft away

7. A battery manufacturer makes batteries that have a failure rate of .015. That is, 15 out of each 1,000 batteries are defectiv
azamat
The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is  86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.
