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.

The mass of the first shipment at time t is
m_{1}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{10}}

The mass of the second shipment at time t is
m_{2}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t-3}{10} }

At time t, the ratio of m₁ to m₂ is
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{100}{100}. \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{(t-3)/10}} \\ =  \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{t/10}}. \frac{1}{(1/2)^{-3/10}} \\ = (1/2)^{3/10} \\ = 0.8123

Therefore as a percentage,
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} =100*0.8123 = 81.23 \%

Answer: B. 81.2%

Using approciate properties find -4/7*3/5+4/7*-1/5+2/5*-4/5
slega [8]

Answer: 0.548

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to remember the formula for PEMDAS(Parenthesis,exponents,multiplication,divison,addition,subtractio)

you can do either multiplication or divison whichever comes first, same with addition+subtraction.

the underlined means to simplify

1.<u>-0.57x3</u>/5+4/7x-1/5+2/5x-4/5

2.<u>-1.71/5</u>+4/7x-1/5+2/5x-4/5

3.-0.342+<u>4/7</u>x-1/5+2/5x-4/5

4.-0.342+0.57x<u>-1/5</u>+2/5x-4/5

5.-0.342+<u>0.57x-0.2</u>+2/5x-4/5

6.-0.342+0.114+<u>2/5</u>x-4/5

7.-0.342+0.114+<u>0.4x-4</u>/5

8.-0.342+0.114+<u>-1.6/5</u>

9.<u>-0.342+0.114</u>+-0.32

10.<u>-0.228+-0.32=-0.548</u>
