Answer:

The answer to your question is shortest ladder = 6 ft, middle ladder = 12 ft, longest ladder = 24 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Ladder 1 = x/2

Ladder 2 = x

Ladder 3 = 2x

Total length = 42 ft

Process

1.- Sum the length of all ladders and solve for x

                   x/2 + x + 2x = 42

Least common factor = 2

                   (x + 2x + 4x)/2 = 42

Simplify

                   7x/2 = 42

                       7x = 42(2)

                       7x = 84

                         x = 84/7

                         x = 12

2.- Find the length of the ladders

Ladder 1 = 12/2 = 6

Ladder 2 = 12

Ladder 3 = 24

Rectangle STUV is shown on a coordinate plane. Rectangle STUV with vertices S at negative 7 comma 6, T at negative 2 comma 6, U
rusak2 [61]

The coordinate of the point T after the given transformations is; T''(-2, -4)

<h3>How to carry out Translation Transformations?</h3>

We are given the coordinates of the rectangle STUV as;

S(-7, 6)

T(-2, 6)

U(-2, 1)

V(-7, 1)

Now, we are told that all these coordinates are translated using the transformation rule;  (x, y) → (x − 2, y − 4)

Thus, the new coordinates using this transformation rule are;

S'(-9, 2)

T'(-4, 2)

U'(-4, -3)

V'(-9, -3)

Now, we are told that these new points are  rotated 90° counterclockwise and as such the new coordinates formed will follow the pattern (x, y) → (-y, x).

Thus, our final coordinates are;

S''(-2, -9)

T''(-2, -4)

U''(3, -4)

V''(3, -9)

Thus, the coordinate of the point T after the given transformations is; T''(-2, -4)
