Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem.
If you're looking for c, then the answer is 6 in. I found this answer by using a2+b2=c2 So 4 squared + 5 squared = 41. So then i found the square root of 41 which is 6.40, which rounds to 6.
It form a right triangle
legnth of ladder is hypotonuse
bottom of ladder from wall distance is one leg
distance up wall is other leg
a^2+b^2=c^2
c=hypotonuse and a and b are legs
4^2+b^2=20^2
16+b^2=400
minus 16 both sides
b^2=384
sqrt both sides
b=8√6 ft
aprox
b=19.59ft from ground
Yes correct x is 48.02 here is why.
simplify 45.6/109.2 to 0.417582
multiply both sides by 115
simplify 0.417582 x 115 to 48.021978
switch sides
Answer: x = 48.021978
