Answer:
The answer to part A is 15 cm because you would first divide 16 by two to find the base of one triangle. Then you would do the pythagorean theorem to find the height. <em> I don't know if that would help.</em>
The answer to part B is 240 cm squared because you would find the area of one right triangle and multiply it by 4 to find the area of all the sides of the box.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is standard form for a linear equation
We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.
11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares
121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides
B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75
B = 5 root3
1.2 * 10 (9)
You need to move it 9 places to the left
