The length of the ladder is 25 feet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Height of the House, h = 24 feet

Distance between the house and the ladder, b = 7 feet

length of the ladder, x = ?

The house makes 90° with the base of the ladder.

Using pythagoras  theorm,

x² = h² + b²

x² = (24)² + (7)²

x = √625

x = 25

Therefore, the length of the ladder is 25 feet.

Spotlight Dance increased the number of dancers on its competition team. Last
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find percentage increase, we use the following formula:

Percentage Increase = \frac{New-Old}{Old}*100

Here

New means the latest value (which is 18 dancers)

Old means the previous value (which is 10 dancers)

The Multiplication by 100 is to convert the decimal answer to percentage.

So, we have:

New = 18

Old = 10

Now we substitute and find:

\frac{New-Old}{Old}*100\\\frac{18-10}{10}*100\\\frac{8}{10}*100\\80

So, there was an increase of 80%

A polygon has its vertices at the following points.
seropon [69]

Answer:

isosceles trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

1) find the distance of the points

\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2 -y1)^2}

AB = \sqrt{(4-2)^2 + (7-5)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} = 2 \sqrt{2}

BC = |7-4| = 3

CD = \sqrt{(9-7)^2 + (5-7)^2}= \sqrt{4+4} = \sqrt{8} = 2 \sqrt{2}

AD = |9-2| = 7

2) equation of the line that passes threw BC

y = 7

3) equation of the line that passes threw AD

y = 5

conclusion

the quadrilateral has two parallel sides and two congruent sides, so it is a isosceles trapezoid
