ANSWER
36 .19
EXPLANATION
We want to estimate
This is the same as
or
We multiply the numerators to get,
We convert to decimals to get
In order to solve this you have to use the pythagorean’s theorem, which is a^2+b^2=c^2. from the problem you can find out you have a=13ft and c=24ft. c is your hypotenuse. you then solve and you get b=20.17ft. you can check to make sure the answer is right, but that is how you solve it. And the ladder would reach 20.17ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. break into 2 shapes: a rectangle of sides 3 and 4. a triangle of sides (x - 3), 4, and y.
step 2. y = 4sqrt(2) (definition of a 45° triangle)
step 3. note: sqrt is the square root.
step 4. x - 3 = 4 (definition of a 45° triangle)
step 5. x = 7 (add 3 to both sides).
Answer:
Everything except the last one about rigid transformations. Rigid transformations change the shape in size or the shape completely.
