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

First to answer gets BRAINLEST<br><br> Which graphs show continuous data select all correct answers
solniwko [45]
<h2>Greetings</h2>

Answer:

Graph number 1 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because continuous data is shown by drawing a line that means the pencil doesn't have to be taken off the page. Seeing as these two graphs are the only two with lines drawn, it means they are graph number 1 and 3.

Brittany and Ashley can paint a room in 7 hours if they work together. If Ashley were to work by himself, it would take him 2 ho
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Brittany paints the room in x hours, completing 1/x of the room per hour.

Ashley paints the room in x+2 hours, completing 1/(x+2) of the room per hour.

Working together, they complete 1/x + 1/(x+2) = ⅐ of the room per hour.

7(x+2) + 7x = x(x+2)

14x + 15 = x^2 + 2x

x^2 - 12x - 15 = 0

x = [12 ±√(12²+60)]/2= 6±√51

6-√51 is an extraneous solution.

x = 6+√51 ≈ 13.14

Brittany paints the room in 12.14 hours
