We can Notice from the Diagram that the Ladder with Wall Forms a Right Angled Triangle.

We know that In A Right Angles Triangle :

(Hypotenuse)² = (First Leg)² + (Second Leg)²

Here the Hypotenuse is the Length of Ladder and One of the Leg is Length away from the Wall

Substituting the Respective Values, We get :

⇒ 5² + (Second Leg)² = 13²

⇒ 25 + (Second Leg)² = 169

⇒ (Second Leg)² = 169 - 25

⇒ (Second Leg)² = 144

⇒ Second Leg = 12 Feet

⇒ The Ladder reaches a Height of 12 Feet

Option C is the Answer

You are solving for the height. Use the formula:

c² - b² = a²      in which c = hypotenuse

(13)² - (5)² = a²

Simplify

169 - 25 = a²

144 = a²

Isolate the a. Root both sides

√144 = √a²

a = √144

a = √(12 x 12)

a = 12

C) 12 feet is your answer

Y= 17 would be the answer.

For something to be a function, it needs an input (x) and an output (y).

There is no x is this answer.

I hope this helps!

ANSWER ASAP GIVING BRAILIEST AND STUFF!
natita [175]

Answer:

24s^2, 54s^2, 96s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the initial side length of the cube.  Then the area of each face of the cube is A = 6s^2 (recalling that the area of a square of side length s is s^2).

a) Now suppose we double the side length.  The total area of the 6 faces of the cube will now be A = 6(2s)^2, or 24s^2 (a 24 times larger surface area),

b) tripled:  A = 6(3s)^2 = 54x^2

c) quadrupled?  A = 6(4s)^2 = 96s^2
