Since you have the hypotenuse (5) and the adjacent side (1.8) all you have to do is find out what squared times 1.8 squared equals 5 squared. the formula for this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Now to figure this out you can do 5^2 which equals 25. 
Then you do 1.8^2 which equals 3.24. then you subtract the two and get 21.76.
if you find the square root of 21.76 you will get 4.6647.
4.6647 is the distance of how far up the wall the ladder reaches.

What is the sum of the measures, in degrees, of the interior angles of a 25-sided polygon?
inna [77]
Exterior angle = 360/25 =  14.4 degrees

internal angle = 180-14.4 = 165.6 degrees

sum of all the angles = 165.6*25 = 4140 degrees answer

Answer:

You didn't give the expression whose zero you want to find. From the options you wrote, the expression has two zeros, this means it is a quadratic expression.

I will however explain how to find the zero of a quadratic expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression is called quadratic, if the highest degree of the variable is 2, no more, no less. It is of the form: ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants.

The zeros of a quadratic expression are the values that make the expression vanish, that is equal to zero.

Example: Find the zeros of 2x² - 6x + 4

First, equate the expression to zero

2x² - 6x + 4 = 0

Next, solve for x

2x² - 2x - 4x + 4 = 0

2x(x - 1) - 4(x - 1) = 0

(2x - 4)(x - 1) = 0

(2x - 4) = 0

Or

(x - 1) = 0

2x - 4 = 0

2x = 4

=> x = 4/2 = 2

Or

x - 1 = 0

x = 1

Therefore, the zeros of the polynomial are 1 and 2.
