Answer:

=11.35 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder, the flat surface the wall and the height up to the window form a trapezium.

The triangle that constitutes of the trapezium has the ladder as the hypotenuse, the distance between the two walls as base and the perpendicular distance from the base of the ladder to the window as height.

The height=20.35 ft-15 ft= 5.35 ft

Distance between the walls=10 ft

Hypotenuse²= base²+height²

H²=b²+h²

=10²+5.35²

=128.6225

H=√128.6225

=11.35 ft.

Which is equal to log base 2n=4

o-na [289]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following logarithm:

log(2)n=4

2. Therefore, you con rewrite it as below:

loga(b)=logb/loa

3. Therefore, you have:

log(2)n=4⇒log(n)/log(2)=4

4. Then, you obtain:

log(n)=4log(2)

5. Therefore, as you can see, the answer for the exercise shown above is the last option, which is:

log(n)=4log(2)

Based on the measures provided in the diagram, determine the measure of AEG

MArishka [77]

Answer:

277°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of arc AEG = AB + BE + EF + FG

The central angle is congruent to the arc that subtends it

∠ ECB = 180° - 44° = 136° ( adjacent angles )

∠ECF = ∠ ACB = 44° ( vertical angles ), thus

AEG = 44° + 136° + 44° + 53° = 277°

What is the value of x in the equation 4x+8y=40 when y = 0.8

fgiga [73]

When y=0.8

4x +8(0.8) =40

-> 4x +6.4 =40

-> 4x = 33.4

-> x=33.4/4

-> x=8.35

Hope it helps...

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes theought the point (12, -2)

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option D (y = 5/6x -12).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation of the line which passes through the point (12,-2) is (y+2) = m2(x-12)………(i) [Using one point formula].

According to the question, the first line passes through point (12,6) and (0,-4).

So,

$slope(m1) = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{ - 4 - 6}{0 - 12}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is 5/6.

Now as per the condition of parallel lines, m1 =m2 = 5/6.

So, keeping the value of m2 in equation (i), we get;

(y+2) = 5/6(x-12)

$y + 2 = \frac{5}{6} x - 10$

or, y = 5/6x - 12.

Therefore, the required equation is y = 5/6 X - 12.

Hope it helps!
