Please help with this math problem for trig. A 6 m ladder is leaning against a wall. The base of the ladder is 1.5 m from the wa
ll. Calculate how high up the wall the ladder reaches.
1 answer:
Answer:
a = 5.81 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where b= 1.5 and c= 6
a^2 +1.5^2 = 6^2
a^2 +2.25 = 36
Subtract 2.25 from each side
a^2 +2.25-2.25 = 36-2.25
a^2 = 33.75
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(33.75)
a = 5.809475019
We only take the positive root because length must be positive

Use the distance formula:
(6, -2), (-2, -12)

⇒
= 12.8
The distance between points T and U is
12.8 units.
Multiply the second fraction by three.
4/9 + 3/9 = 7/9
Answer:
The answer is a isosceles right I think.
3^2 = 9
9/9 = 1
1 + 12 = 13
This is based on the Order of Operations.
Hope it helps! :D
