Answer:

The height reached by ladder on the building is 30 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height reached by ladder on the building.

Since, the building must be perpendicular with respect to surface,

Thus,

(The length of the ladder)² = (The  base of the ladder from the building)² + ( The height reached by ladder on the building)²

Given,

The length of the ladder = 34 ft,

The  base of the ladder from the building = 16 ft.

So,

34^2 = 16^2 + x^2

1156 = 256 + x^2

1156 - 256 = x^2

900 = x^2

\implies x = 30

Hence, the height reached by ladder on the building is 30 ft.

Emerson is making a punch that contains 60% grape juice and the rest lemon-lime soda. The punch has 2 liters of lemon-lime soda.
valina [46]
Part A.

Consider a punch containing L liters.

60% of these that is \frac{60}{100}L=0.6L is grape juice, and the rest, 0.4 L is lemon-soda.

so, for the variable L, the total amount of punch, the total amount of grape juice is 0.6 L
and the amount of lemon soda in the punch is 0.4L
 
Part B.

For L=2, we substitute and get:

0.6 L=0.6 * 2 liters = 1.2 liters of grape juice

0.4 L = 0.4 * 2 liters = 0.8 liters of lemon soda.
