Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
The answer is 119.8245. 49% of $234.95 is 115.1255 (.49 • 234.95 = 115.1255). Subtract $115.1255 from $234.95 to get the answer to get 119.8245 (234.95 – 115.1255 = 119.8245).

An expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week is T = 3F + 2H and the total cost is equal to $114.
<h3>How to write an expression for the total cost?</h3>
In this exercise, you're required to write an expression for the total cost of the daycare for Lucy's dog this week. Thus, we would assign a variable to the cost for full-day and half-day day care as follows:
- Let the cost for full-day be F.
- Let the cost for half-day be H.
Thus, the total cost of the daycare is given by:
T = 3F + 2H
Evaluating the expression, we have:
T = 3(28) + 2(15)
T = 84 + 30
T = $114.
