Since the scale factor is 3:1 you can multiply the length of the side of the triangle to the right by 3 to make the ratio 3:3

the equation would be:
2x+5 = 45

subtract 5 from both sides
2x = 40

divide both sides by 2

x = 20

hope this helps

H(ft) = √ (13² - 4²) = 12.4

It is a right-angled triangle and the Pythagorean theorem applies.

THEOREMA (by Pythagoras):
Given a right-angled triangle ABCABC as in the figure, then the relation is valida2 + b2 = c2a2 + b2 = c2where cc is the hypotenuse of the triangle and b, ab, a are the cathets.

h(ft) = √ (13² - 4²) = 12.4

What the answer and how do you solve it pls

A desk costs $44, but they boost the price 150%
$44( \frac{150}{100} ) = 66

$

They are selling it at $66 (selling price)
Since Michelle sold it at $66 and she earns 20% on the selling price as commission, then it is simply

$66( \frac{20}{100} ) = ?$

That should be the commision amount michelle earns

Mr. Haley is leaning a ladder against the side of his house to repair the roof.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember the Pythagorean theorem,

x^2 + y^2 = n^2

in this case

x= 16

y = 12

so substitute back into the equation

16^2 + 12^2 = n^2

256 + 144 = n^2

400 = n^2

sqrt ( 400) = n

20 = n
