Answer:

5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mr. Dyer is leaning a ladder against the side of his house to repair the roof.

The top of the ladder reaches the roof, which is 3 meters high.

The base of the ladder is 4 meters away from the house, where Mr. Dyer's son is holding it steady.

Question asked:

How long is the ladder?

Solution:

<em>Here we found that a right angle triangle is formed in which base and height is given and we have to find the longest side of the triangle.</em>

Base = 4 meters

Height = 3 meters

Length of the ladder = ?

<u>By Pythagoras theorem: </u>

Square of longest side = Square of base + Square of height

(Longest\  side)^{2} =  4^{2} +3^{2}

(Longest\  side)^{2} =  16+9

(Longest\  side)^{2} =  25

Taking root both side :-        

\sqrt[2]{(Longest\ side)^{2} } =\sqrt[2]{25}    

 Longest\  side =  \sqrt[2]{5\times5} \\  Longest\  side =  5

Thus, length of ladder is 5 meters.

Answer:

The height of the ladder is 5 m.

Step by Step Explanation:

We have drawn diagram for your reference.

Given:

Distance of roof from base of the house = 3 m.

According to diagram;

AB = 3 m

Distance of the base of the ladder from the house = 4 m

According to diagram;

BC = 8 ft

We need to find the height of the ladder AC.

Solution:

Let us consider the scenario to be a right angled triangle with right angle at B.

So we will use Pythagoras theorem.

"In a right angle triangle square of sum of 2 sides is equal to square of the third side."

framing in equation form we get;

AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

Substituting the given values we get;

AC^2=3^2+4^2\\\\AC^2=9+16\\\\AC^2=25

Taking Square root on both side we get;

\sqrt{AC^2}=\sqrt{25}\\\\AC=5\ m

Hence The height of the ladder is 5 m.

On one day a Plumber Joe earned $80 on a plumbing job. Out of his earnings he spent $6.85 on tea and snacks, $5.50 on food and $
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Joe saved 68.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 6.85 from 80, you get 73.15

Subtract 5.50 from 73.15 and you get 67.65.

Subtract 21.40 from 67.65 and you get 46.25.

Add 22 to that amount, you get 68.25.

Using n for the variable, write an algebraic expression that represents a number that is divisible by the given number. (Hint: A
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

'5n' is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'n' be any integer i.e. a number from the set {....., -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, ..... }

so 'n' can be termed as the variable here because its value can change and can be any value from the above set.

A number 'q' that can be divided by a a given number 'p' can be written as:

n \times p

When divided by 'p' :

\dfrac{q}p = \dfrac{n \times p}{p}\\\dfrac{q}p = n

So, The number 'q' is completely divisible by 'p' leaving 'n' as the quotient.

Using this concept, let us solve the questions:

a) Using 'n' as the variable, a number that is divisible by 5 can be written as:

5n

The balloon reaches a height of 7 feet at 0.1 seconds and 2.13 seconds

<h3>How to determine the time the balloon is at the height?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as

h(t)= -16t^2 + 35t + 5

The above equation is a quadratic equation

When the balloon is at a height of 7 feet, we have

h(t) = 7

So, we have the following equations

h(t)= -16t^2 + 35t + 5

h(t) = 7

Next, we plot the equations on a graph (see attachment)

The equations intersect at

t = 0.059 and t = 2.129

Approximate

t = 0.1 and 2.13

Hence, the times are 0.1 seconds and 2.13 seconds
