A 10-foot ladder leans against a wall with its foot braced 3 feet from wallÍs base. How far up the wall does the ladder reach?

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is √91 feet (which is the same as 9.54 feet).

Imagine this as a right triangle. A length of the foot is actually a hypotenuse (c). The distance from wall's base to the ladder foot is one of the sides of the triangle (let it be a).
So, using the Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
It is given:
c = 10 feet
a = 3 feet
b = ?
c² = a² + b²
⇒ 10² = 3² + b²
100 = 9 + b²
b² = 100 - 9 = 91
⇒ b = √b² = √91 ≈ 9.54 feet

stepan [7]

Sales aer in multipules of 1000
normally the output is y and input is x

input would be number of months
output would be the sales

so

subsitute 40 for x

y=0.94*(40)+12.5
y=37.6+12.5
y=50.1
this is in thousands
times 1000

$50,100 is the sales after 40 months

Can you help me with 17,18,19,20,21

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

#17. You just have to plot the points, this should be super easy. Go to the left 6 (because it is negative) then up four. This is M. Then go right 5 and up 4 and plot A.

#18. Point T is a reflection of A over the X-axis. This is quite simple as well. All you need to do it make your Y coordinate negative? Why Y? You'll see. You need to essentially "fold" the graph at the X line, so your Y value goes from up top at 4 to below the X axis as we're reflecting over the X line. I hope that makes sense. T should be at 5,-4

#19 This is the same process as 18, Over the X coordinate. Make Y negative and plot it. It should be H= -6,-4

#20 You can get this from the answers from #18 and #19.

#21. The formula is Base*2+Height*2, or Base+Base+Height+Height. You want the distance around. I'll have you figure this out, but if you get comment and I'll check back. How many steps do you go up from T to A? How about over from H to T 9 or (M to A)? Once you find how many units your base and height are, use the formula for perimeter to find the answer. Hope this helps! :)
