By the Pythagorean theorem
50^2 = x^2 +(x +34)^2
2500 = 2x^2 +68x + 1156
x^2 +34x -672 = 0
(x -14)(x +48) = 0
x = 14 or -48
The distance from the wall to the base of the ladder is 14 ft.

7-24-25 is a Pythagorean triple. The dimensions here are double those values. It can be handy to know a few of the Pythagorean triples, as that can let you write down the answers to problems without having to go through the equations.
Assuming that you ment- (18*9)/3d where d=3 you would follow PEMDAS-
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication-Division (in order from right to left)
Addition-Subtraction (in order from right to left)
1. Parentheses- (18*9)=162
2. Solve your variables- 3d (3*3)=9
Giving you- 162/9
3. Solve-162/9=18
The answer is the last one 300
Solution:
The standard equation of a hyperbola is expressed as

Given that the hyperbola has its foci at (0,-15) and (0, 15), this implies that the hyperbola is parallel to the y-axis.
Thus, the equation will be expressed in the form:

The asymptote of n hyperbola is expressed as

Given that the asymptotes are

This implies that

To evaluate the value of h and k,
La of sine:
sinC/c = sinB/b==> sin 37°/8 = sin B/12 ==> sin B = 0.903
arcsinB or sin⁻¹ B = 64.5°, & sin (B°) = sin (180° - B°), then
sin(64.5) = sin(180°-64.5°) ==> B = 64.5° or 115.5°
