I search and found different answers but the nearest is 24
Step 1 : Simplify both sides
-5(6a+21)=-15
(-5)(6a)+(-5)(21)=-15
-30a-105=-15
Step 2 : Add 105 to both sides
-30a-105+105=-15+105
-30a=90
Step 3 : Divide both sides by -30
-30a=90
—————
-30 -30
a = -3
16, 36, 40
Set the problem up as 4x+9x+10x= 92
26x= 92
X= 4
Plug back in to get the lengths of the sides (shown above)
Answer:
4.609 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse is the ladder because it is the slanted side. 3m is one of the other side lengths
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
3^2 + B^2 = 5.5^2
9 + B^2 = 30.25
30.25 - 9= B^2
21.25= B^2
4.609=B
