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

AT&T charges $350 to get a plan with them, plus $60 per month. T-Mobile charges a $275 initial fee, plus $80 per month. Writ
larisa86 [58]

Given :

AT&T charges $350 to get a plan with them, plus $60 per month.

T-Mobile charges a $275 initial fee, plus $80 per month.

To Find :

Write an equation or inequality that can be used to determine the number of months it would take for T-Mobile to cost the same or more than AT&T.

Solution :

Money-time relation of plan AT&T :

M_1 = 60x + 350

Money-time relation of plan T-Mobile :

M_2 = 80y + 275

( Here, x and y are number of months )

Let, after t months would take for T-Mobile to cost the same or more than AT&T.

So, M_2\ge M_1

80t+275 \ge  60t + 350\\\\20t \ge 350 - 275\\\\20t \ge 75\\\\t \ge 3.75

Hence, this is the required solution.

1.<br> Solve for x=<br> 35, 103
mariarad [96]

Given:

A figure of a circle with secants intersecting inside the circle.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

According to the intersection theorem of secants, if two secants intersect each other inside the circle, then the angle on the intersection is the average of the intercepted arcs.

Using the intersection theorem of secants, we get

x^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}(35^\circ+103^\circ)

x^\circ=\dfrac{1}{2}(138^\circ)

x^\circ=69^\circ

x=69

Therefore, the value of x is 69.
