A ladder that is 13 meters long is leaning against a wall. The distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall is 7 meters

less than the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground. Create an equation that models the length of the ladder in terms of x, which is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation that is used to model the length of ladder in terms of x is:

                   x^2-7x-60=0

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We can model this problem with the help of a right angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 meters and the other two legs are x meters and (x-7) meters.

where x is the distance between the top of the ladder and the ground.

and (x-7) is the distance between the foot of the ladder and the wall.

Hence, using Pythagorean Theorem we have:

13^2=x^2+(x-7)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\169=x^2+x^2+49-14x\\\\i.e.\\\\169=2x^2-14x+49\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x+49-169=0\\\\i.e.\\\\2x^2-14x-120=0\\\\i.e.\\\\x^2-7x-60=0

                 Hence, the answer is:

                  x^2-7x-60=0

Oh no :DDDD
so you gan take the pythagorean formula, as it is a right triangle and modify dat.
169 =  {x}^{2}  +  {(x - 7)}^{2}
twelve and five if yuo need to know numbres :DDDD

Answer:

Smaller=18 degrees; larger= 162 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first supplementary angles mean that the two angles added together will equal 180 degrees.

so 1x + 9x = 180 (combine like terms)

10x=180 (divide each side by 10)

x=18

so the smaller angle is 18 because its only 1x, and the larger angle is 162 because 18x9=162

check: 18 + 162 = 180

PPPLEASE HELP<br><br> do the problem
Serggg [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. No: angles add to more than 180 deg.

2. Yes: each side's length is between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

3. No: not every side's length is between the sum and difference of the lengths of the other two sides.

4. Yes: for example, place the 50 deg angle between the two given sides. Another side will then make the triangle.

5. Yes: for example, use 3 cm as the short leg in a 30-60-90 right triangle.

If the graph of the following parabola is shifted two units left and three units down, what is the resulting equation?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x=-8\left(y+3\right)^2-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the x and y have been reversed in this equation, shifting the parabola to the left will be outside of the exponent and shifting up and down will be inside with the exponent.

The equation becomes x=-8\left(y+3\right)^2-2.

Where subtracting by 2 moves it two units to the left and adding by 3 moves it 3 units down.
