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

Write one pair of brackets in this calculation so that the answer is correct. 5 + 2 × 7 – 4 = 11
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

5+2*(7-4) =11

Step-by-step explanation:

This expression was kind of trial and error for me seeing as I'm not really good at logic, but this is pretty basic. There are three possible places the parentheses can be placed (assuming each pair holds 2 terms);

(5+2)*7-4\\5+(2*7)-4\\5+2*(7-4)

The answer to the first expression would be 45, which is not equal to 11.

The answer to the second expression would be 15, which is also not equal to 11.

The answer to the last expression is 11, so that is the correct answer.

Hope this helped :D

speed boat is 86.9 km behind steam boat. so it is 130.64-86.9 = 43.74 km from portspeed boat's speed = 43.74/1.8 = 24.3 km/hr
