Here, 
let the longer piece be y and shorter piece be x
now,
according to the question,
x+y=19     .............................equation (1)
y=4+2x    ...............................equation (2)

from equation 1
x+y=19
x+4+2x=19          substituting the value of y from equation 2
3x=19-4
x=(19-4)/3
x=5

now 
substituting value of x in equation (2)
y=4+2(5)
y=4+10
y=14

so , the longer piece is 14 foot and the shorter piece is 5 foot

A 4m ladder rest against a vertical wall with its foot 2m from the wall.How far up the wall does the ladder reach?
adell [148]

A) How high up the wall does it reach?

Use the Pythagorean theorem

Height^2 + Base^2 = Hyp^2

H^2+ 2^2 = 4^2         Subtract the 2^2 from both sides

H^2 = 4^2 -2^2          Multiply the square roots of both the numbers

H^2= 16 - 4

H^2 = 12

H= sqrt(12) m

Hope this helps
