Height of fence = 10 feet

Height of point where window needs to be washed = 14 feet

Distance between fence and building = 2 feet

Distance between fence and ladder = 10 feet

⇒ Distance between building and ladder = Distance between fence and building + Distance between fence and ladder

⇒ Distance between building and ladder = 2 + 10 feet

⇒ Distance between building and ladder = 12 feet

Now to determine the length of the ladder that goes over the fence, we can use the Pythagoras theorem, where perpendicular is represented by the height of the building, and base is represented by distance between the building and the ladder, and the length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse

So by Pythagoras theorem:

H² = P² + B²

⇒ Length of the Ladder² = Height of the Building² + Distance between Ladder and Building²

⇒ Length of the Ladder² = 14² + 12²

⇒ Length of the Ladder² = 196 + 144

⇒ Length of the Ladder² = 340

⇒ Length of the Ladder = √340

⇒ Length of the Ladder = 18.439..

⇒ Length of the Ladder = 18.4

Hence, the length of the ladder should be 18.4 feet

College alcohol and drug use: In a Washington Post/Kaiser Family Foundation poll conducted from January through March 2015, 56%
natima [27]

Answer:

D)We are 95% confident that the proportion of adults (ages 17‐26) who attended college during the past 4 years and say that alcohol and drug use at their school is a big problem is between 53% and 59%.

Step-by-step explanation:

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

In this question:

95% confidence interval is (0.53, 0.59).

This means that we are 95% sure that the true proportion for the population of adults who attended college who say that alcohol is a big problem is between 0.53 and 0.59. This means that the answer is given by option D.

6.371 in lowest terms
kozerog [31]
Well you would have to round this 5 and above goes up. Since 1 is lower than 5 that would leave you at 6.37. 7 rounds up so that would change to 6.4. Lastly 4 would round down, So that would leave you with 6. Now 6 is the simplest form but if your looking for rounded to the nearest tenth the answer would be 6.4. If your looking for rounded to the nearest 100th place 6.37. But over all simplest form is 6.

Find the area of each circle in terms of PI, the circles diameter is 2cm, what do i do know?
choli [55]
Given diameter 2cm
Find the area of a circle 
the formula for area of a circle 
A = pi r^2
the diameter is the radius times two 
so to find the radius given the diameter 2/2 = 1
radius is 1cm
pi is ~3.14
A = (3.14) * (1)^2
A = (3.14) * 1
A = 3.14

Hope this helps :)

The area of a square can be found using the equation A=s^2, where A is the area and s is the measure of one side of the square.
MaRussiya [10]
A = 81 square in.

s = sqrt(A)

s = sqrt(81)

s = 9 in.
