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

A certain ceiling is made up of tiles. Every square meter of ceiling requires 10.75 tiles. Fill in the table with the missing va
ANEK [815]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

See Attachment

Required

Complete the table

From the question, we understand that:

1m^2 = 10.75\ tiles

So:

When square meters = 1

X = 10.75 * 1

X = 10.75

When square meters = 10

X = 10.75 * 10

X = 107.5

Assume any value of square meter for the third row;

Say: square meters = 20

X = 10.75 * 20

X = 215

When square meters = a

X = 10.75 * a

<h2>X = 10.75a</h2>
