Answer:

11.3137085 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The length (l) of the ladder is 18ft

The height (h) of the ladder from the ground is 14 ft

The distance (x) of the foot of the ladder to the bottom of the house is:

Applying the Pythagorean theorem:

x² = l² - h²

x = \sqrt{l^2 - h^2}

x = \sqrt{18^2 - 14^2} = 11.3137085 ft

Answer: a^2+b^2=c^2

Step-by-step explanation: (18^2=14^2+c^2)=324=196+c^2

324-196=128 and the square root of 128 is 8 radical 2 or in decimal form 11.31

A circle has a diameter of 4 inches. A square has a side length of 4 inches. What is true about the areas of these two figures?
Nuetrik [128]
The area of the square is greater than the circle: the area of the circle is pi(r)^2 while the area of the square is length times width. The area of the circle is about 12.5 while the area of the square is 16.

I need help with 1-3 i don’t understand that problems and its already over due
Nina [5.8K]

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic equation y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex (the maximum or minimum point) is at x = -b/(2a).

1) y = -0.5t² + 2t + 38

The maximum is at:

t = -2 / (2 × -0.5)

t = 2

The maximum height is:

y = -0.5(2)² + 2(2) + 38

y = 40

The coordinates of the vertex are (2, 40).  That means the missile reaches a maximum height of 40 km after 2 minutes.

2) y = -4.9t² + 12t + 1.6

The maximum is at:

t = -12 / (2 × -4.9)

t = 1.22

The maximum height is:

y = -4.9(1.22)² + 12(1.22) + 1.6

y = 8.95

The coordinates of the vertex are (1.22, 8.95).  That means the missile reaches a maximum height of 8.95 m after 1.22 seconds.

3) y = -0.04x² + 0.88x

The maximum is at:

x = -0.88 / (2 × -0.04)

x = 11

The maximum height is:

y = -0.04(11)² + 0.88(11)

y = 4.84

The maximum height of the tunnel is 4.84 meters.

The maximum width is when y = 0.

0 = -0.04x² + 0.88x

0 = -0.04x (x − 22)

x = 22

The maximum width is 22 feet.
