Answer:
77.6m (3 s.f.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached pictures for full solution.
On the second floor we have 6 apartments, and we have 2 more apartments with 3 bedrooms, so 8/16 apartments are either on the second floor or have 3 bedrooms. 8/16 is the same as 1/2, or 50%
Answer:
15.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the problem can be modeled by a right triangle with hypotenuse 16 ft and one side length of 4 ft. If x represents the height of the ladder on the building, then the Pythagorean theorem tells us ...
x^2 + (4 ft)^2 = (16 ft)^2
x^2 = 240 ft^2 . . . . . . subtract 16 ft^2
x ≈ 15.5 ft . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
The top of the ladder is about 15.5 ft above the ground.
