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.

given the equation 5y-3x=15 how would you determine another equation which would have: no solution, one solution, and infinitely

victus00 [196]

First, I would convert the equation to slope intercept form.

That would be: y = (3/5)x + 3 , now it will be easier to create the needed equations.

For no solution, keep the slope the same and change the y-intercept.
You could have: y = (3/5)x + 9

For one solution, all we have to do is change the slope.
You could have: y = (4/5)x + 3

For an infinite number of solutions, just multiply the entire equation by any number. Let's use the number 2.
2y = (6/5)x + 6

17. What's the difference between 1,968 and 3,000? Check your answer using inverse operations.

Georgia [21]

The difference between 1,968 and 3,000 is 1,038. You can check the answer using inverse operations by adding 1,038 and 1,968. If it gives 3,000 then the answer is right. 3, 000 - 1,968 = 1,038.

1,038 + 1,968 = 3,000

Your computer monitor has a width of 14.98 inches and a height of 11.24 inches. What is the area of the monitor display in squar

nika2105 [10]

It is given in the question that your computer monitor has a width of 14.98 inches and a height of 11.24 inches.

And we have to find the area of the monitor display in square meters.

And the formula of area is width times height .

SO to find the area, we have to multiply the given width and height.That is

$Area= 14.98*11.24 =168.3752 square inches$

And now we need to convert square inches to square meters and for that we have to multiply the given answer by 0.00064516. That is

$= 168.3752*0.00064516=0.1086 m^2$

Solve the following system of equations by the substitution method. 2x = 10y - 8 3x + 4y + 5 = 0

Natali [406]

Answer:

x = $-\frac{41}{19}$

y = $\frac{7}{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 10y - 8

3x + 4y + 5 = 0

2x = 10y - 8

x = 5y - 4

3x + 4y + 5 = 0

3 ( 5y - 4 ) + 4y + 5 = 0

19y - 7 = 0

19y = 7

y = $\frac{7}{19}$

x = 5y - 4

x = 5 ( $\frac{7}{19}$ ) - 4

x = $-\frac{41}{19}$
