Answer:

The ladder can reach a height of 22.6 feet.  

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the height that the ladder can reach, you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.  The Pythagorean Theorem assumes that the house to the ground will form a right triangle and the leaning ladder is the hypotenuse.  Using the formula:  a² + b² = c², we can plug in the values that we know and solve for the missing variable.  In this case we know the base of the triangle 'b' and the hypotenuse 'c':  a² + 8² = 24² or a² + 64 = 576.  To solve for a, we must first subtract 64 from both sides:  a² + 64 - 64 = 576 - 64 or a² = 512.  In order to find just the value of 'a', which represents the height, we need to take the square root of both sides:  √a² = √512 or a ≈ 22.6 feet.

Lewis directs the school marching band. He uses scale drawings of the football field to design marching formations for the band.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Assuming you have the lengths in inches.

Do this: (length in inches * 10) x (length in inches * 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

There's information missing from this question. "The football field is 100 yards long and yards wide", but to find out the area of a rectangle you just need to times the two numbers together.

I assume you have a picture with the lengths in inches on, if you can see how many inches are on the scale drawing, times the inches by 10 for the length in yards for each side. Then times the two lengths (in yards) together for the area.

Which expression is equivalent??? help!
dexar [7]

Answer:

The equivalent expression for the given expression \sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} } is

4x^{3} y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy} )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }

Solution:

We will see first what is Cube rooting.

\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = x

Law of Indices

(x^{a})^{b}=x^{a\times b}\\and\\x^{a}x^{b} = x^{a+b}

Now, applying above property we get

\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }=\sqrt[3]{(4^{3}\times 4\times (x^{3})^{3}\times x\times (y^{2})^{3}\times y   )} \\\\\textrm{Cube Rooting we get}\\\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }= 4\times x^{3}\times y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy}) \\\\\sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} }= 4x^{3}y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy})

∴ The equivalent expression for the given expression \sqrt[3]{256x^{10}y^{7} } is

4x^{3} y^{2}(\sqrt[3]{4xy} )
