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

one side=6ft
Height=.
</span><span>EQUATION:
x^2+6^2=15^2
x^2=189
x=13.7 ft. (the ladder reaches 13.7 ft. up the wall)</span>

Write an equation for the line described. Give the answer in standard form. through (2,6), m= -5​
LiRa [457]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5x +y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your point and slope make this ...

  y -6 = -5(x -2)

  y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation

Hal has a steel barrel with a diameter of 6 feet that can be filled to a depth of 4.6 feet with oil. What is the volume of the b
scoray [572]

Answer:

129.996 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the barrel is a perfect cylinder, we can use the formula to find the volume:

\pi(r)^2(h)

First, we have to find the radius, which is:

D = 2r

So the radius is 3 feet, since it is half of the diameter. Then, we plug in the values.

3.14(3)^2(4.6)

Now, we solve. Exponents are first...

3.14(9)(4.6)

Now multiply left to right.

28.26(4.6)

129.996 cubic feet

Therefore, the barrel can hold 129.996 cubic feet of oil. Hope this helps you!

Find the probability that a randomly
Lerok [7]

Fine the area of the circle:

Area of a circle = pi x r ^2

Area of the circle = 3.14 x 4^2 = 50.24 square cm

Find the area of the triangle:

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Area =1/2 x 8 x 4 = 16 square cm

Find the area of the white part by subtracting the area of the triangle from the circle:

50.24 - 16 = 34.24 square cm.

The probability of landing in white is the area of white/ area of circle:

34.24/50.24 = 0.682

Multiply by 100 to get percent:

0.682 x 100 = 68.2%
