You will need to use Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2
the a and b values will be 12 and 5 feet. So just plug them in and solve for c.
12^2 + 5^2 = c^2
144 + 25 = c^2
169 = c^2 square root both sides
13 = c
so the ladder has a length of 13 feet.

For the given word problem, identify the rate of change. Gasoline at a particular gas station costs $2.78 per gallon. If Cory bu

Answer:

Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of gas per gallon = $2.78

it means that if one buy 1 gallon he will have to pay $2.78 and similary for each increase in 1 gallon of gallon gas he will have to pay $2.78.

Thus, rate of change is cost of gas per gallon as cost to buy gas changes with the change in quantity of gallon.

Let the quantity of gas bought be x gallon.

Total cost for x gallons = cost of gas per gallon*x = 2.78x

Given that total money paid by him is $18

2.78x = 18

x = 18/2.78 = 6.47

Thus, Cory bought 6.47 gallons

rate of change is $2.78 per gallon

a_sh-v [17]

In unit of batches over days, let r be the planned rate and R be the actual increased rate. The difference between R and r is described as 10 shirts per day.

R-r=10

                        Rate                  Time                  Batches

Planned              r                          8                           1

Actual                 R                         7                            1


\left[\begin{array}{c}r=1/8&R=1/7&R-r=HowManyBatchesInTenShirts\end{array}\right]

1/7-1/8, the number of batches equivalent to 10 shirts.

(1/56)*Batches=10*Shirts

OneBatch=560*Shirts

Hope This Helps!!!
