A 34-ft. ladder resting against the wall of a building forms a right triangle with the wall and ground. So this is one of the legs and equal 34 feet.

The bottom of the ladder is 8 ft. away from the base of the building. This is another leg and equal 8 feet.

You need to find the hypotenuse.

Using The Pythagorean Theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where a and b are legs and c is hypotenuse

c^2 = 34^2 + 8^2

c^2 = 1156 + 64

c^2 = 1220

c = √1220

c = 34.93

Answer

The side of the building = 34.93 ft

Solve Ax − By = C for x.
Travka [436]

For this case we have the following equation:

Ax - By = C

From here, we must clear the value of x.

Adding By on both sides:

Ax = By + C

Then, dividing both sides by A we have:

x = \frac {By + C} {A}

Answer:

x = \frac {By + C} {A}

x equals the quantity B times and plus C all over A

A farmer builds a fence for his chickens in the shape
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The highway fence cost $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the highway fence is twice as cost as the one of the other 4 sides, this means that the highway fence = 2 normal fence.

Therefore, we use

$1800 / highway fence(2 normal fence) + 4 normal fence

$1800 / (2 + 4) = $300

This means that every normal fence cost $300.

Which then we get the highway fence is $600 because it costs double of the normal fence.

tatiyna

The charity will receive $ 11

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Ken earned $176 from his part-time job this summer

Amount earned = $ 176

He spent 25% of his money on games

Therefore,

Money spent on games = 176 - 25 % of 176

\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - \frac{25}{100} \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 0.25 \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 44\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 132

He is going to donate 1/4 of the remaining money to charity

Reamining amount = 176 - 132 = 44

Therefore,

Money\ given\ to\ charity = \frac{1}{4} \times 44 = 11

Thus he gave $ 11 to charity
