Let L represent the ladder length, and x the distance the horiz. ladder reaches out from the wall. Then L = x + 3, where x is the distance of the bottom of the ladder from the wall when the top of the ladder is 9 ft. above the ground.
Consider the triangle formed by the hypotenuse (L, same as ladder length), the (vertical) side opposite the angle formed by the hypo. (with length 9 ft) and the horiz side (which we will call x). Then, according to the Pythagorean Theorem,
L^2 = x^2 + 9^2. But L = x + 3, and L^2 = x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 + 9^2. Solving this equation results in x=3. 6x + 9 = 9^2, or
6x + 9 = 81
6x = 72
x = 12
But L = x+3. So L=12+3, or L = 15 (feet).
Answer:
346*89 would turn out to be 30794!

Hello! Let's work this problem from left to right to make things a bit easier ;)
6.5+(-2) is the same as 6.5-2, since adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. 6.5-2=4.5
Now, we have to add 10.5 to 4.5, which gives us the grand total of 15. I hope this helped! Let me know if you need anything else!
When adding fractions you need to get common denominators then you multiply too times bottom and then boom add and there you go
