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

Hey Guys! Im new here and hoping to really get to use this website! Hope you guys could answer my question!

Answer:

Width =9 cm

Length =6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be width, then length is x − 3

Let area be E. Then we have: E = x ⋅ (x −3)

54= x^2-3x

x^2-3x-54=0

We then do the Discriminant of the equation:

D=9+216

D=225

X1=3+15 over 2. which is 9

X2= 3-15. over 2. which is -6 Which is declined, since we can't have negative width and length.

Therefore x is 9. So width  

So width  = x = 9cm and length is x-3 = 9-3cm=6 cm

The axis of the sphere below is 16 units in length. What is the surface area of the sphere?.
Nataly_w [17]
There are enough information's already given in the question. Based on those information's that answer can be easily deduced.
Radius of the sphere = 8 units
Then
Surface area of the sphere = 4 *pi * r^2
                                            = 4 * pi * (8)^2
                                            = 4 * pi * 64
                                            = 256pi
I hope that this answer has come to your help.

Please explain how to do this.
RUDIKE [14]

Given,

A linear function consisting of 2 terms, one is dependent on time and the other one is independent of time, i.e.,

A = -2.3t - 7

The dependent term -2.3 indicates that the altitude of Mr Mole decreases by 2.3 meters every minute.

At t = 0, A = -2.3(0) - 7 = 0 - 7 = -7.  (Negative sign indicates the value is below the ground level of 0 meter.

       The constant term - 7 is the altitude at t = 0, because at t = 0

Thus, Mr. Mole's burrow lie 7 meters below the ground.
