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.

Answer: it will take 10 years for both of them to have the same points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years that it will take Lebron James and Steph Curry have the same number of points.

Lebron James has 30,473 points, and adds 8,200 each year. This means that in x years, the total number of points that Lebron James would have is

30473 + 8200x

Steph Curry has 14,403 points, and adds 9,807 each season. This means that in x years, the total number of points that Steph Curry would have is

14403 + 9807x

For them to have the same points, the number of years would be

30473 + 8200x = 14403 + 9807x

9807x - 8200x = 30473 - 14403

1607x = 16070

x = 16070/1607

x = 10

Answer:

x = ± $\sqrt{\frac{p}{m} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mx² = p ( divide both sides by m )

x² = $\frac{p}{m}$ ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{\frac{p}{m} }$

joe scored less than four times the amount of baskets peter scored. How many did they each score if l together they scored 32 ba

slava [35]

Let us assume the amount of baskets Joe scored = x baskets.

4 times of x is 4x.

4x+x = 5x.

Therefore, Peter scored = 5x.

Together they scored = 32 baskets.

Sum of Peter score and Joe score = 32.

x+5x = 32.

6x = 32.

Dividing both sides by 6, we get

x = 32/6

= 16/3.

x= 16/3.

<h3>Joe scored = 16/3 baskets.</h3><h3>Peter scored = 5 × 16/3 = 80/3 baskets.</h3>
