Step 1
<u>First situation</u>
when a ladder is leaning against a wall
Let
x-------> the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall
L-------> the length of the ladder
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
------> equation 
Step 2
<u>Second situation</u>
when the ladder will be lying flat on the ground
<u>Find the length of the ladder</u>
In this situation the length of the ladder is equal to
square both sides
------> equation 
Step 3
equate equation and equation
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the ladder is 
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5

Answer:
x = 27°
Step-by-step explanation:
The supplements of each angle are complementary:
(180 -6x) +(180 -4x) = 90 . . . . . . . . assumes x is in degrees
270 = 10x . . . . . . add 10x-90
27 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by 10

Answer:
1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I did 7/8 times 7/1 (7 days as a fraction) = 1 6/8 then i simplified that to 1 3/4
