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

Jessica is a custodian at Oracle Arena. She waxes 20 m² of the floor in = of an hour. Jessica
Wewaii [24]

The complete question is as follows:

Jessica is a custodian at Oracle Arena. She waxes 20 \mathbf{m^{2}} of the floor in \mathbf{\frac{3}{5}} of and hour. At this rate, how many square meters can she wax per hour ?

Answer:

\mathbf{\frac{100}{3}\approx33.33 \ m^{2} \ per \ hour}

Step-by-step explanation:

\textrm{rate}=\frac{\textrm{Area waxed in square meter}}{\textrm{Time taken to wax in hours}}

\textrm{rate}=\frac{20 \ \textrm{m}^{2}}{\frac{3}{5} \ \textrm{hours}}

\textrm{rate}=\frac{20\times5}{3}

\mathbf{rate=\frac{100}{3}\approx33.33 \ m^{2} \ per \ hour}

15% 40% as whole numbers
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation: A whole number is an integer or a number without fractions. Both 15% and 40% are less than 1 since they are less than 100%; therefore, it is impossible to express them as whole numbers. They can only be expressed as the mixed numbers of 0.15 and 0.4, or 15/100 and 40/100.

Solving the equation and something to do with log
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

m= 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we must make the bases equivalent. We can do this by finding the common base which is 5.

We know that 125= 5³ and 25=5², which will help us in this equation. We can rewrite the equation substituting this for the original numbers:

5^{3(2m)} = 5^{2(m+1)} Distribute the exponents to get:

5^{6m} = 5^{2m+2}

Now, we can simply ignore the '5' and solve for 'm':

6m= 2m+2

4m= 2

m= 1/2.
