If you're ladder is 10 feet long and you place the bottom 6 feet from the wall how far can you reach

Mathematics

This is like a triangle.
One side, the hypotenuse, is the length of the ladder, 10 feet in this case.
Another side, one of legs, is the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the wall, 6 feet.
The last side is what we need to find, how high up the ladder reaches.

Using the p<span>ythagorean theorem, we can find this third side.
This is written as a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
A and B are the legs, while C is the hypotenuse.

Plugging in known values, we get:
6^2 + b^2 = 10^2

Solve as much as possible:
6^2 = 36
10^2 = 100
36 + b^2 = 100

Now you must isolate b.
Subtract 36 from both sides.
100 - 36 = 64
b^2 = 64

The last step in finding b is doing the inverse of squaring, which is square rooting.
√64 = 8
So b equals 8.

This means that <span>the ladder can reach 8 feet up the wall.</span></span>

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calling it blocks is a little weird. but a good way to do it is to move left or right until you are over or below where you want to go then move up or down accordingly.  Each move, left, right up or down will count as one block.

So from the fire station you go 1 to the right and then 6 down, for a total of 7.  then from the library  it's 3 right then 4 up, which is 7 again.  7 to the first stop then 7 to the second makes 14 total.  

If there's something you don't get let me know.

Convert 7.7km into miles if 1.6 km = 1 mile
Lemur [1.5K]
This is a simple equation.  

The equation is y = 1.6x  with y being the miles and x being the kilometers.

Lets plug the kilometers in.

Y=1.6(7.7)

1.6 *  7.7 = 12.32

12.32 miles is  equal to 7.7 kilometers

HOWEVER

There are about .6 miles in a kilometer, so if you typed this wrong I don't know.  

It is still the same concept.

Y = .6x

Y = .6(7.7)

.6 * 7.7 =  4.8

In this case there are 4.8 miles in 7.7 kilometers
