Answer:

The ladder reach 10.58 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem a rectangle triangle is formed, with hypotenuse = 11 feet, a side = 3 feet and the other side is the unknown, i. e., how high on the house the ladder reach.  

From Pythagorean theorem:

hypotenuse^2 = side^2 + side^2

11^2 = 3^2 + side^2

side^2 = 11^2 - 3^2

side = sqrt(112)

side = 10.58 feet

Use Pythagoras theorem
 11^2 = h^2 + 3^2  where h is the height of ladder agaianst the wall

h^2 = 11^2 - 3^2
       =(11+3)(11-3) = 14 * 8 =  112
h = sqrt 112 =  10.58 ft

Round 713,949 to the nearest hundred
TEA [102]

Answer:

<em>713,900</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

713,<u><em>9</em></u>49

The bold, italic, underlined digit is the hundreds digit.

To round to the nearest hundred, change all digits to the right of the hundreds digit to 0. Now you have

713,900

There is one more step. Look at the first digit that used to be to the right of the hundreds digit. If it is from 1 to 4, the hundreds digit remains the same. If it is from 5 to 9, the hundreds digit goes up by 1. In this case, the first digit to the right of the hundreds digit was 4, so the hundreds digit does not go up by 1.

Answer: 713,900
