127. Ladder stability: From past mishaps, Seth knows his
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

h = 7.63 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When a ladder leans against a wall, it forms a right angled triangle. The length of the ladder becomes the hypotenuse of the triangle, while the distance of the bottom of ladder from the wall and the height of top of the ladder from the ground becomes the perpendicular and base, depending upon the selected angle. Using Pythagora's Theorem in this right angled triangle:

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

where,

Hypotenuse = Length of Ladder = 16 ft

Base = Distance between bottom of ladder and wall = x

Perpendicular = Height of top of of the ladder from ground = x + 6 ft

Therefore,

(16)² = x² + (x + 6)²

256 = x² + x² + 12x + 36

128 = x² + 6x + 18

x² + 6x - 110 = 0

solving the quadratic equation and using positive value:

x = 1.63 ft

So, the height of top of ladder is:

h = 1.63 ft + 6 ft

<u>h = 7.63 ft</u>

stepan [7]

Answer:

<u>The equal monthly payment during 48 hours for buying a car is US$ 187.82</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Loan from the bank to buy a car = US$ 9.015.20

Period of time to pay back the loan = 48 months

Form of payment = Equal monthly payments

Monthly payment = Loan from the bank / Period of time

Monthly payment = 9,015.20 / 48

<u>Monthly payment = US$ 187.82 (rounding to the nearest cent)</u>

<u>Each equal monthly payment during 48 months is US$ 187.82</u>
