A 20 foot ladder is resting against the side of the house the base of the latter is 4 feet away from the house approximately how
high above the ground is the latter touch the house
1 answer:
The ladder resting against the house forms a triangle similar to the one in the image below
To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem

a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = x
b = 4
c = 20
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem

solve for x
+ 16 = 400
= 384
x = 8√6
or
x ≈ 19.5959....
Hope this helped!

The difference between 9/10 and 4/10 is 5/10, or one half, so that's your answer.
9p^2 - 6 = 642; / + 6 ;
9p^2 = 648; / ÷9 ;
p^2 = 72 ;
p = +

;
Finally, p = +6

or p = -6
