Answer:

The ladder is 11 m long approximately .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall.

To Find :If the top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall, how long is the ladder?

Solution :

The foot of a ladder is placed 7 meters from a wall.

Base = 7 m

The top of the ladder rests 9 meters up on the wall

So, height at which ladder touches wall i.e. perpendicular = 9 m

We are supposed to find how long is the ladder i.e. Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2 +Base^2

Hypotenuse^2 =9^2 +7^2

Hypotenuse =\sqrt{9^2 +7^2}

Hypotenuse =11.40175

Hence The ladder is 11 m long approximately .

We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:

49+81=130

Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.

How do you multiply 12x12 step by step?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

 

 12

X12

------

 

If you are writing this problem out by hand, be sure that your numbers are lined up, like above.  This will help you in making sure that you solve each step of your problem properly.

 

First, start with the 12.  Multiply 12 by the "2" in the one's place, in the second number:

 

 12

X  2

-----

 

Begin by multiplying 2 X 2 first, in the "ones" column.

 

Do you have 2X2=4?  Great!  Put the 4 in the ones column, where your answer would go.

 

Next, multiply 2 times the 1 digit.  The 1 is actually a 10, because it is in the "tens" column.

 

2 X10=20

 

Place your 2 in the "tens" column--It should look like this...

 

 12

X  2

-----

 24

 

Since you are finished with the "ones" place, now you will work with the tens column.

 

put a zero under the 4 in 24.

 

then continue like this

 

 12

X12

-----

 24

120      because 12 X10=120

------

144      If you add 24 +120, you should have 144.

 

If you have a slightly different way of doing this problem, that's OK.  The point is to get the correct answer.

 

If you have a times table, you can check yourself.

 12 X12=144

Answer:

the number of miles is 14,722

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of miles drive last year is shown below:

= Total cost ÷ cost per mile

= $1,560 + $3,740 ÷ $0.36 per mile

= $5,300 ÷ $0.36 per mile

= 14,722 miles

Hence, the number of miles is 14,722
