Answer:
4.9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to determine the height of the building using the following:

Where
H = Height of the building
L = Length of the first ladder = 20ft
B = Distance from the base of the building = 10ft
So, we have:





Next, is to determine the distance of the new ladder from the base of the building (B) using Pythagoras theorem using:

Where
--- Length of the second ladder
----- Height of the building
So, we have:




Solving for B2, we have:


X^1 is the answer .........
If you'd graph this function, you'd see that it's positive on [-1.5,0], and that it's possible to inscribe 3 rectangles on the intervals [-1.5,-1), (-1,-0.5), (-0.5, 1].
The width of each rect. is 1/2.
The heights of the 3 inscribed rect. are {-2.25+6, -1+6, -.25+6} = {3.75,5,5.75}.
The areas of these 3 inscribed rect. are (1/2)*{3.75,5,5.75}, which come out to:
{1.875, 2.5, 2.875}
Add these three areas together; you sum will represent the approx. area under the given curve on the given interval: 1.875+2.5+2.875 = ?
Answer: 177 ???
Step-by-step explanation:
if all the sides are 59 shouldn't you do 59 x 3 which equals 177????
but depends on your answer choices
D is the answer so u have to add and to make 7.5 a decimal u move it 2 places to the left
