This is just an application of Pythagoras' theorem. The ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the building. The Hypotenuse is 15 ft, and side a (the floor,) is 6 ft. PLugging this into the theorem, we get
15^2 = 6^2 + b^2
225 = 36 + b^2
189 = b^2
b is approximately 13.7478

Two friends are hiking in Death Valley National Park. Their elevation ranges from 228 ft below sea level at
monitta

Answer:

x - 231 ≤ 459

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Elevation ranges below sea level  = 228 ft

Elevation ranges above sea level  = 690 ft

Elevation = x

Computation:

Ideal range = [690-228] / 2 = 231

Tolerance range = [690+228] / 2 = 459

So,

x - 231 ≤ 459
